24 Huh.

Fun fact: My very first hunting kill was a wild turkey. I was eight at the time. We had him for Christmas dinner and he was a LOT better than the domestic variety.

No turkey this year. Game hen instead. And funny enough, every single item that has to go in the oven for today's dinner bakes at 350 degrees, making dinner prep infinitely easier.

Well, must go start cutting things up. Happy Thanksgiving again, Horde!

80 CBD,
Thanks for NOT using the standard Norman Rockwell painting. As they said in vaudeville, "That's been done."

I'm not the biggest fan of Impressionist art but this one does capture the relaxed nature of keeping track of the turkeys. A lot easier that baling hay or digging. I do like the way the varied colors blend in the grass. It's a pleasant scene.

The Morning Report — 11/27/25

Tanks2025.jpg

Good morning kids. And of course Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving to you all. The big story this morning was the gunning down of National Guardsmen in the nation's capital yesterday.

One of the two West Virginia National Guard members shot in a violent ambush on Wednesday afternoon has been identified as Andrew Wolfe, according to his former high school. “Our Applemen community is deeply saddened to learn that Musselman High School alumnus, Andrew Wolfe, was one of the National Guardsmen injured in the shooting in Washington, D.C. today,” Musselman High School in West Virginia posted on Facebook. Wolfe is currently undergoing surgery and is in critical condition after Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, allegedly opened fire on him and a female National Guard member near the Farragut West Metro Station in Northwest DC in what’s being probed as a possible terrorist attack.

The evil bastard Democrats have more innocent blood on their hands. This is yet one more act of barbarism that they and they alone are responsible for. Until my last breath, all the pain, suffering dislocation and wastage of life, money and human potential that has laid us low for over 200 years is directly the fault of Democrat Leftist policy, corruption and criminality in their ongoing and never ending lust for absolute power.

Just like the victims of the Islamikaze suicide bombers in Kabul 5 years ago these deaths are directly the fault of Joe Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants Biden and whoever auto penned his signature authorizing the US military to just drop everything and bug out of Afghanistan.

In September 2021, then U.S. Senate candidate JD Vance warned that Joe Biden’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal and reckless refugee resettlement would “create an opportunity for terrorists.” He blasted the administration for flooding America with “thousands of unvetted people,” a failure he said put Americans at risk. As the nation’s newly sworn vice president in January 2025, Vance doubled down on the warning, telling CBS, “We know that there are cases of people who allegedly were property vetted and then were literally planning terrorist attacks in our country.”
. . . The idea that these people are vetted is a lie, and we need to call out that lie. Now, if we do that of course, what they [leftists] say is “the reason you don’t want these Afghans in your community is because you are a racist.” Well, that’s not true. I don’t care about the color of their skin. Here’s what I care about — that according to Pew Research, 40 percent of people who live in Afghanistan believe that suicide bombings are an acceptable way to solve a problem. Are we allowed to say that I don’t want 100,000 people unvetted from a country where nearly half the people think suicide bombing is an OK way to solve a problem? Because I don’t want that. Shortly after being sworn in as vice president in January, Vance squared off against CBS Face the Nation’s Margaret Brennan, who claimed, “These people are vetted!” Vice President Vance responded sharply, saying, “Just like the guy who planned a terrorist attack in Oklahoma a few months ago?”


Of course the Democrat Left Media complex are in overdrive blaming, Guess Who?!

Critics are lambasting MS NOW correspondent Ken Dilanian for seemingly suggesting the suspect who critically injured two National Guardsmen near the White House was reacting to “controversy” surrounding uniformed Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in American cities.

Dilanian, a justice and intelligence correspondent for the network, pitched his two cents on the devastating shooting while on-air Wednesday afternoon.

“[O]f course, you know, there’s so much controversy happening in the United States right now with ICE, who are also wearing uniforms and wearing masks. And so there’s, you don’t know, people walking around with uniforms in an American city. There are some Americans that might object to that. And so apparently this shooting has happened,” he said during an MS NOW breaking news report.

The shooting, which law enforcement officials said was a targeted “ambush,” critically wounded two National Guardsmen, including one who was believed to be shot in the head.

Ken Dilletantian went on to blame the Jews for all the carbon emissions over the crematoria at Auschwitz during World War 2 for being a major cause of global warming.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. I am so very thankful for all of you who come here every morning, as well as your prayers and good wishes for me and the spouse during a very difficult time as we now both battle some health issues. I'm fine but she's suffering.

GOd bless and keep you all!

11 The Apostle Paul, in the second half of the first chapter in his letter to the Romans, when identifying where things fell apart:

"And they were not grateful..."

The is the first step that begins the journey into reprobation.

On this great and beautiful day set aside of all other days to be one where people of faith can thank the Almighty for all that we have and all that will be ours when we are in Him.

Live in the Light. be Thankful, for we have more things to be grateful for than we have the time to express.

Posted by: fd at November 27, 2025 08:01 AM (vFG9F)

18 I had a moment of awe this morning thinking of the enduring forbearance of the conservative movement in the face of the assaults, predations and murderous crimes waged against it by the Left. The long persecution of Trump including two assassination attempts, the murder of Charlie Kirk, the slaughter of little children at Christian schools, the FBI and DOJ's jihad against conservative parents, the limitless slanders of the media, the ruined lives of the J6ers -- and still no riots, no violent retaliations, nothing. Meanwhile, when a dirt-bag serial criminal is killed by a cop, the Left burns down cities. Nevermind their daily outbreaks of violence over manufactured narratives.

Is our forbearance weakness or strength?

Breakfast for me was my new creation, a grilled cheese-and-turkey *waffle* sandwich; a little yogurt infused with creatine; and half a pumpkin spice muffin. I've saving the other half for tonight after we go out for T-Day dinner around three.

When phrased that way, the 42% doesn't bother me. I would guess that emotional "thinkers" would view public roads, schools, housing, transportation, infrastructure, hospitals - things that they interact with daily and at a commodity level, things that are usually perceived as "free" to them because it is subsidized or part of Section Ape, SNAP, etc. could not possibly let their minds wander to pure Libertarianism where the road in front of your house is private and tolled.

Those with substantial assets or equity positions in things would be shocked and horrified that the long hours of work, the years of delayed gratification were to be stolen from them and given to the local junkie a/o illegal alien.

49 Gratitude. The healthiest emotion.

The opposite of coveting and theft. The whole point and purpose of the Welfare State is to anonymize origin of gifts so that gratitude is either directed at an amorphous blob or isn't possible.

Without gratitude, things become entitlements.

One of the best things that I added to my life years ago, was getting up at dark-thirty to go for a 2+ mile walk where I would spend most of the time being openly grateful, enumerating everything from salvation, health, job, family, relative peace and security, etc.

Imagine if whatever you didn't specifically name in the things that you are grateful for, those things were taken from you, how long that list will be each morning.

Well, vigilantes. Which we will be informed is just horrible, “taking the law into your own hands”. I’m not sure what the more benighted members of the leftist insurgency expected. When the rule of law breaks down, every crime no matter how minor is a capital offense.

Know your history. Organized police forces are just a recent blip in the timeline. Most of human history was not a system setup for the rights of the accused, a presumption of innocence, or three hots and a cot and an attorney. You could say those are “luxury beliefs” for an affluent society. In an effluent society, all that goes out the window.

I have never understood the appeal of this abomination. Only way I'll eat sweet potatoes is cut up into fries or chips and deep fried, or baked with butter, salt, and pepper.

If I'm having dessert, I can do lots better than a sweet potato.

159 There was a huge push in and around the Afghan withdrawal by our military and particularly the special forces community to evac our "allies" and those who helped us during the conflict, because it was feared that the Taliban would round them all up and shoot them. Multiple episodes of Shawn Ryan podcast about this.

If this reporting is accurate, this guy fits that bill completely, so in that regard he probably was vetted, and not just some random guy, and not the classic "terrorist." It will be very interesting to learn how he got here, and who helped him.

174 Thousands of Afghans were brought to the US after the disastrous bugout under *biden's watch. We were told they were "families" who had someone working with the US while we were over there. It for their safety.

That's a lie.

Many of the Afghans brought over here were single, military aged men who were playing both sides against each other and turned to the US to help them get out of a situation that would likely result in their own death.

They're not here to integrate with society. Whether the Intel Community is still "running" some of them is debatable, but I find it more than likely they are.

227 The True Story of Thanksgiving

Rush Limbaugh: https://bit.ly/4riGcst

William Bradford, the governor of the Pilgrim community, saw that none of this was working. The Mayflower Compact was not working. Giving everybody a single share of stock in the common store, in the common bank was not working. Collectivism. It was as costly and destructive to the Pilgrims as it is and has been to anybody who has ever tried it.

So Bradford decided to scrub it. He threw it out and took bold action. He assigned a plot of land to each family. Every family was given a plot of land. They could work it, manage it however they wanted to. If they just wanted to sit on it, get fat, dumb, happy, and lazy, they could. If they wanted to develop it, if they wanted to grow corn, whatever on it, they could. If they wanted to build on it, they could do that. If they wanted to turn it into a quasi-business, they could do whatever they wanted to do with it.

He turned loose the power of the capitalist marketplace.

228 Good morning, all, and thank you, J.J.

Would be assassin, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, who may or may not have worked with the CIA in Afghanistan for several years before being brought to the US in 2021 under one of Biden's Humanitarian Parole schemes, a TPS plus?

>France 24, 'National Guard shooting suspect served alongside US army in Afghanistan: US media'

Saw a questionable "source" which wrote he served alongside U.S. Special Forces in Afghanistan for 10 years prior to his arrival, 'reportedly.' If true, he would have been quite young - a teen of +/-14 - when recruited, not necessarily stable before or after.

Also, don't forget there were all-volunteer groups of U.S. veterans, some notably referred to as "Task Force Pineapple," who conducted unofficial missions back then (2021) to help evacuate 'critically at-risk Afghans, including elite forces and their families' & bring them into the US.

Reportedly, those veterans often 'vouched' for those transported & their entry. Was their 'vetting' conducted and approved to bring individuals and families into the US, and were those individuals and families also placed automatically on slow Joe's "Humanitarian Parole?"

229 >6 hours ago, Times of India, YouTube, CIA CONNECTION OUT! Afghan Who Shot National Guard Tied To U.S Intel, Spl Forces; Ratcliff Bombshell

🤷‍♀️ Always interesting.

Anyway, I'd bet $ it's another big convoluted mess of poor or not vetting for entry into the US & lack of F/U of the entrants.

Each and everyone needs to be revetted or sent home quickly. (Btw, so many babies were born immediately after the airlift and beginning settlement in the US, it was ridiculous. And "daddy" hadn't been brought into the US yet or ever. Think about this mess alone.)

So Trump is again the BIG, unreasonable meanie because - BBC 'US suspends immigration requests for Afghans after National Guard shooting' 3 hours ago

No, vet ALL arriving from that nation and/or through EU or other countries from at least 2021. With few exceptions, all under Humanitarian Parole were to be out or leaving the US under the Biden administration.

Also, redo the vetting for each & every Ukrainian under Biden's special Humanitarian Parole program and get ready to boot many. Do not think for one minute they're not part of the press in this country constantly driving the goodness of Zelenskyy etal.

'Zelenskyy faces the biggest corruption scandal of his presidency'

A must read.

This scandal involves energy and infrastructure contracts.

In part, "On November 10, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) exposed an alleged $110 million corruption scheme at state-owned nuclear company Energoatom. The charges are supported by a fifteen-month wiretap and over seventy searches carried out as part of a major investigation called Operation Midas."

Again & again & again, scandal, missing funds, etc. and a Netflix President. Enough of this, too. End the Humanitarian Parole; end the country's young fighting age men hiding in this country and others, and end involvement with, and interference in, "honest" journalism in the US.

All, imo.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Top Story

  • OpenAI says a dead teenager circumvented ChatGPT safety features before committing suicide. (Tech Crunch)

    This comes out of one of the manifold lawsuits for wrongful death levied against OpenAI by the families of, well, crazy people.

    And OpenAI actually seems to have a point:
    OpenAI claims that over roughly nine months of usage, ChatGPT directed Raine to seek help more than 100 times.
    Why didn't you tell him to seek help?

    (Produces list of dates, times, and messages.)

    We did.
    But according to his parents' lawsuit, Raine was able to circumvent the company's safety features to get ChatGPT to give him "technical specifications for everything from drug overdoses to drowning to carbon monoxide poisoning," helping him to plan what the chatbot called a "beautiful suicide."
    Y'know, back in the Paleozoic era there were these things called libraries.

    Razors pain you;
    Rivers are damp;
    Acids stain you;
    And drugs cause cramp.
    Guns aren't lawful;
    Nooses give;
    Gas smells awful;
    You might as well live.

11 CBD - QNAP has a reputation for security mishaps, Synology has a reputation for locking down hardware after you've bought it, though both have taken steps to repair this.

Asus seems... Generally good.

The little Beelink thing I bought (and have yet to set up) is well-regarded if you only want SSD storage and don't need the fastest speeds. There are a number of small four-drive SSD-based models and most of them overheat.

The SSD-based ones are still too pricy because of the cost of the memory.

Boring old spinning drives are so much cheaper that it seems to make sense to get a bigger NAS with more slots. The memory is currently running at less than $20/TB!

63 From the Framework Desktop review:

That brings us to the most bizarre feature. There is a PCIe Gen4 x4 slot on the motherboard.

While that is exciting, someone forgot to put a low-profile card I/O slot between the PSU and the motherboard on the rear of the system. This is a huge miss, and one that even, having used the system for more than a month, I cannot get over. Perhaps you can stick an M.2 card in there, but it would have opened up the possibilities of this system so much to just have a low-profile card slot here (and an open-ended PCIe slot.) You end up with a PCIe Gen4 x4 slot that is not very useful because of the chassis design.


Yeah, that was a huge oversight.
Even if that slot is barely usable to begin with it would be nice to have somewhere to plug cables into it without cutting holes are leaving the side open with cables hanging out.

STH is the first reviewer I’ve seen mention this problem.

This will be the first Thanksgiving since my wife died. I miss her keenly. She always made me thankful.

I stood on watch most Thanksgiving while I was in the Service, so I could get Christmas with my family. But I have been estranged since Obama from them.

It’s probably that Framework designed this system before they started getting the motherboards in. The board looks like the same motherboards MinisForum puts out with the mobile chip soldered in and heatsink already installed.

So they designed it around an ITX motherboard size and didn’t even think about the PCIe slot until they started arriving and then they said “Ooops, too late to change anything on the chassis now!”

If it happened any other way than that somebody just wasn’t paying attention who should have been.

96 I did my regular shopping yesterday. Earlier I was waiting for my SS check to hit the bank. Still, it wasn't too bad. I was in and out of Walmart in twenty-five minutes. The local chain grocery was a bit slower, but they use actual clerks instead of the self-checkouts (which WM is phasing out, thank goodness). I was stuck in line behind a single mom whose little daughter kept calling me "Daddy." The woman shrugged. "She calls every male figure she sees 'Daddy.' I dunno why."

I could have told her why -- no male presence in the home, no doubt, and Big Government as Daddy -- and that she'd better be careful about her daughter's future life and choices. But I was nice and kept my mouth shut.

97 Forgot to mention the update on the work annoyance from Monday.

Quick summary: The contract we were on had not been extended and we were told to stop work immediately at 9. Co-worker reaches out to our boss and lets him know what happened.

Boss's reaction was basically "What? This is the first time I'm hearing about this" and he gets involved.

In the end, the contract got an extension on Monday afternoon, we were given up to 8 hours of furlough that doesn't count against our PTO and all is normal again.

Most of our malls are gone.

The Dillard's Outlet is housed in a dead mall building in the far western area. There's a Target nearby and a few other outlying businesses. Not hard to get to and very easy to park.

Maybe we can have lunch afterward at a Dot's Diner on the major boulevard south of there.

121 What’s ironic, or maybe not, the rise of shopping malls were (more or less) partly a direct result of the fact that shopping “downtown” was untenable after 1968.

I remember vaguely that going shopping downtown was kind of a big deal. Apparently involved lots of perfume, and scarves. Mom had gloves she would wear when going on about town to buy more shoes and unmentionables.

Grocery shopping. You paid for your stuff, and then went and got your car. Pull up to the delivery area and they would load your car filled with groceries. $20 was a LOT of food. Won’t even buy a pack of smokes some places now.

My grandmother on my mother's side of the family also pronounced "ate" as "et." She was born in 1915 and raised in the "hollers" of West Virginia coal country.

I suspect it is an older British pronunciation that was still preserved in Appalachia at the time.

I know what you're thinking. Turkey, turkey, turkey. Everyone talks about Thanksgiving in terms of turkey. Turkey on the table, turkey pardons, turkeys falling from the sky, etc.

What about the cranberry? When does the small but mighty cranberry get its turn in the spotlight?

I'm glad you asked...

20251124-cranberrytime.jpg

***

"Vaccinium macrocarpon" is the botanical name for the American cranberry.

Vaccinium macrocarpon, commonly called American cranberry, is native to bogs, swamps, and wet shorelines in parts of northern and eastern North America. It is a low-growing vine or trailing shrub (to 6" tall and spreading) with small, glossy leaves. Small, nodding flowers with white to pink, recurved petals bloom from late spring into early summer. The flowers are followed by plump, red to dark purple, ovoid to round, 0.5" diameter fruits. The leaves of this plant are a larval food source for the bog copper butterfly, the flowers are visited by bees, and the fruits are eaten by birds and occasionally small mammals.

The genus name Vaccinium comes from an ancient Latin name apparently derived from a prehistoric Mediterranean language. Its origin and meaning are generally considered to be lost to time.

The specific epithet macrocarpon means large-fruited, in reference to the relatively large size of the fruit of this species.

The common name cranberry derives from the Germanic kraan, meaning "crane" and bere, meaning "berry," possibly in reference to the appearance of the flowers.

Source: Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis, MO

20251124-509259488.jpg

Commercial cranberry cultivation reportedly started in the United States in 1816. Captain Henry Hall found a cranberry vine thriving in some sand on Cape Cod (Dennis, Massachusetts). He became the first person to successfully cultivate cranberries.

He noticed that the wild cranberries in his bogs grew better when sand blew over them. Captain Hall began transplanting cranberry vines and spreading sand on them. Others quickly copied his technique.

The idea of growing and selling cranberries commercially caught on. Local landowners converted their swamps, wetlands, peat swamps and wet meadows into cranberry bogs.

By 1885, Plymouth County had 1,347 acres under cultivation. Barnstable County had 2,408 acres. By 1900, the number of acres tripled, making Cape Cod a household name for cranberries.

What came next? Naturally, cranberries in a can.

In 1912, a lawyer named Marcus Urann bought a cranberry bog. Based at a facility in Hanson, Massachusetts, he sought ways to extend the short selling season of the berries. Canning them made cranberries a year-round product. He and two others eventually formed a cranberry cooperative.

20251124-vintagejellied.jpg

Cranberry Juice Cocktail was introduced in 1933 and the jellied cranberry sauce became available nationwide in 1941. Yes, the technical term for the tube of jiggling cranberry in a can is "sauce."

The cranberry cooperative group added members from Wisconsin, Oregon, and Washington, and became the National Cranberry Association in 1946. In 1957, it became Ocean Spray after acquiring the name and logo from a fish company in Washington. You might have heard of it. It remains a cooperative, with over 700 farmers.

An exemption for agricultural cooperatives in the Capper-Volstead Act of 1922 gave "associations" making agricultural products limited exemptions from anti-trust laws.

Cran facts:

Americans consume 5,062,500 gallons of jellied cranberry sauce. It takes four million pounds of cranberries - 200 berries in each can.

Only about five percent of America's total cranberry crop is sold as fresh fruit. The rest go into juice, jelly, sauce, and dried fruit (craisins).

The five states known for growing cranberries are: Massachusetts, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington. Wisconsin alone accounts for over 50%.

It takes approximately 4,400 cranberries to produce one gallon of cranberry juice.

Cranberry vines are evergreen perennials that can live for over 100 years and produce fruit for up to 65 years in commercial cultivation.

20251124-Cranberry-Single.jpg

***

Do cranberries grow in water? No! Bogs are flooded just before the harvest. The vines are gently jiggled. The berries are released and float to the surface where they are scooped up. They can be dry picked (think of a process that runs a comb through the vines), but about 90 percent of cranberries are picked using wet harvesting techniques.

Four little air pockets inside each berry allows them to float.

19 My lovely wife LOVES that canned Ocean Spray garbage:

Behold: Nasty Gelled Cranberry Sauce, the unholy abomination that slinks out of the can with a wet, reluctant schlorp, like a gelatinous slug that’s been marinating in its own existential dread since 1973.
It lands on the plate in a perfect, ridged cylinder, quivering with the faint structural integrity of a haunted Jell-O mold. The surface gleams under the kitchen light with an unnatural, almost radioactive sheen (think "nuclear maraschino cherry" meets "gas station sushi"). Tiny air bubbles are suspended inside like trapped souls trying to escape. When you slice into it, the knife makes a sound best described as a sad trombone being slowly drowned in simple syrup.
The texture? Imagine if cranberry bog water had a midlife crisis, gave up, and decided to become a fruit-flavored rubber tire. It wobbles. It jiggles. It refuses to break apart like normal food, instead choosing to ooze in slow-motion defiance, leaving behind a glossy, sticky crime scene that clings to your fork like it’s personally offended you tried to eat it.

Miles remarried in 1624 to another colonial pilgrim babe, Barbara, 35, who arrived at the Plymouth colony on the ship the Anne in 1623.

• 1 cup oatmeal
• ½ cup sifted flour or rice flour
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• ½ cup butter
• 1 lb cranberries

Mix the oatmeal, flour, and brown sugar. Cut in butter until crumbly. Place half the oatmeal mix in a greased 8x8 pan. Cover with cranberries, and top with the remaining oatmeal. Bake 45 minutes at 350°.

92 I do make my own cranberry sauce (ultra simple, of course).

Dried cranberries are great in stuffing (and in couscous).

In the 1970s I recall (for some reason) browsing through an economic atlas of the US, and something like 95% of cranberry production was from Massachusetts.

99 Sorry all you Gobblers out there... but I will continue the tradition I've had for over 30 years now...

And Turkey Day will be celebrated with a Rib Roast.

32 years ago, I got divorced. I had full custody of my twins BUT X got them on some Holidaze... so... Thanksgiving she got them every other year, AND, whoever did not have them on Turkey day got the kids the following Friday and Weekend...

So... Her family ALWAYS did a Turkey... Thus, the tradition of the Rib Roast came to be.

Many years when I lived in Colorado, if'n I did not have the Kiddos, I would Snow Ski on Thanksgiving... then on Friday do the Beefy Beefy Feast...

It may have been an all-purpose recipe, I don’t have the book in front of me right now due to family travels. I love a good apple crisp, but that cranberry has taken over as my favorite, and rhubarb a close second.

Rhubarb Crisp

• 4 cups diced rhubarb
• ½ cup plus 1 tbsp flour
• 1 tbsp water
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• ¼ tsp cinnamon
• ½ cup sugar
• ½ cup butter
• ¾ cup oatmeal
• ¼ tsp salt

Mix all together; bake in 8x8 greased pan. Bake at 350° 45 to 50 minutes.

Do they stillmake jellied cranberry sauce with raspberry? I think that's an improvement. For whole cranberry sauce, go ahead and make it yourself, using the recipe on the bag of cranberries. Variations include 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon salt and some citrus juice and/or zest. But just cranberries, sugar and water is fine. Try it plain first.

Cranberry relish is zippier. There is also cranberry salsa, which can be nice. Sometimes made with mild chiles, onion and lime juice.

She was one of only five adult women from the Mayflower to survive the first winter in the New World, and one of only four such to survive to the "first Thanksgiving" in 1621, which she helped cook.[1][3] As such, she is included in Plimoth Plantation's reenactment of that Thanksgiving.

She had six children with William: Jonathan, Patience, Fear, an unnamed child who died young, Love, and Wrestling.

191 Don't know of a sweet/sour combo for beef. But a chipotle cream sauce and chimichurri combo work well with grilled flank steak. Pretty, too - light brown and bright green.
Posted by: rhomboid


Sweet sour beef: soak the sliced top round beef in soy, chinese rice wine, garlic, etc for a few hours. Pat dry, chill in the fridge for a few more. Mix up a cherry/ pineapple, chicken stock, soy, starch, sauce. Get the wok wicked hot. Toss the beef in a flour / corn starch and salt mix. Fry the hell out of it. Serve with rice, green onions, and the cooked down sauce.

I got a recipe, from a Methodist Church Cookbook no less, for carrots/celery matchsticks sauteed in butter and a TBS of or so of Grand Marnier and a touch of black pepper. Takes about two to three minutes to cook. It's simple and maybe doesn't sound so good, carrots-celery-orange. But that would be wrong. It's delicious.

You could make Jansson's Temptation, substituting tater tots for potatoes - Um, and probably sardines for the anchovies

Preheat the oven to 425F and layer the ingredients in a casserole in the order given:

2 large onions, cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips
14 fillets Swedish anchovies, or regular anchovies
6 potatoes, peeled and cut into strips
1 ½ cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

I bought some old-fashioned non-quick oatmeal the other day. Being of the retired persuasion, I no longer have to give a crap about stuffing down breakfast and heading out the door, and oatmeal is just the thing for a cold winter morning.

And once again I realize just how early my mother must've had to get up to make us all breakfast before school/work. "Quick" oatmeal didn't exist then. Biscuits and sausage gravy. Pancakes. Lots of other things.

I'mk thankful for that, Mom. I wish you were here so I could tell you in person.

I watched a vid on the warnings for one of my prescriptions, and it said adding alcohol may cause sleepiness or dizziness. Like that isn't a normal side-effect of booze! and over-29-ism.

364 Well, I got some good work done on #3 Suburban today, despite the cold 15 degree weather. Replaced the engine thermostat and the bypass hose. Engine now warms up to a decent operating temperature, and the heater blows a torrent of warm air. Drove it to Elnora for Wing Night, and the 'burb was toasty warm inside.

There was a bypass hose on it, but the previous workers had crammed in a piece of straight 3/4" heater hose, and it was kinked almost shut. I rooted around in a box of used molded heater hoses, found one with slight bend in it, and cut that piece out and used it. Fits like a glove; no kinks.

Dump in a jar of whatever red sauce.

"Mincemeat", as used as a filling for pies or tarts, is mostly candied fruit, and some nuts maybe, and a little suet or lard, IIRC. And it has spices in it.

413 Behold: Nasty Gelled Cranberry Sauce, the unholy abomination that slinks out of the can with a wet, reluctant schlorp, like a gelatinous slug that’s been marinating in its own existential dread since 1973.
It lands on the plate in a perfect, ridged cylinder, quivering with the faint structural integrity of a haunted Jell-O mold. The surface gleams under the kitchen light with an unnatural, almost radioactive sheen (think "nuclear maraschino cherry" meets "gas station sushi"). Tiny air bubbles are suspended inside like trapped souls trying to escape. When you slice into it, the knife makes a sound best described as a sad trombone being slowly drowned in simple syrup.
The texture? Imagine if cranberry bog water had a midlife crisis, gave up, and decided to become a fruit-flavored rubber tire. It wobbles. It jiggles. It refuses to break apart like normal food, instead choosing to ooze in slow-motion defiance, leaving behind a glossy, sticky crime scene that clings to your fork like it’s personally offended you tried to eat it.

436 Since TG isn't a huge production this year, I lazed around this morning... so peaceful... until my BFF texted me that her lights & tv were wonky.

She didn't know what to do and was scared that it would cost her a fortune to fix!

I told her to call the power company. She continued to freak out. I told her *again* to call power company, which she finally did... and then she wanted me to come over because she was still freaking out. OK.

Brought over a LED lantern & extra batteries, just in case.

Turned out, her neighbor's tree was rubbing the insulation on her powerline and water got in when it rained. Crew trimmed the tree and spliced out the bad spot. Yay! And no charge to BFF.

Heh. I had a similar situation this morning, except it wasn't a BFF. A woman came to the house looking for Roommate Brent, who was out. When I told her this, she burst into tears. In her car was a yappy terrier and two puppies, each maybe a month old. Car was overheating.

She had just left her abusive boyfriend and had no where to go. She had met Brent back in August. No contact since. I got her to a church that I'd been going to. Only person there happened to run the women's ministry. She suggested a battered women's shelter, and the girl was familiar with it. I followed her there to make sure her car didn't quit along the way. She appeared to be thinking a bit more clearly by then, so I'm hopeful she's getting the help she needs. Definitely not on my bingo card today...

450 Back in the 90's when my wife & I did the family Thanksgiving, my efforts would be brining two large birds the day before and then firing up my smoker around midnight and stuffing that bird with seasoned butter under the skin and then oranges and seasoning in the cavity. 3 hours later, my side burner BBQ would receive the second bird seasoned with a Cajun blend to be slow cooked with apple wood for the next 6 hours.

I did some pretty fine birds back in the day.

452 @Joe Kidd, Friday night about midnight I had a good friend (who lives about an hour away)'s son call me from California, saying Dad had gone to the ER that afternoon but left the hospital that night, and could I get him to go back? I went over to the house and talked to his wife. He had likely had a TIA (mini-stroke) at work -- one side of his face was drooping, his speech was slurred like he was drunk, and he had headaches. Once he got to the ER, though, neuro screening was fine, and they didn't do anything (which told me they didn't think it was an emergency). He was waiting around for an MRI and had had enough, so he went home. He was asleep. I said let him sleep and see if he'll go back tomorrow. But it screwed up my sleep all weekend to be up all night Friday night. Certainly wasn't in my plans. [Rest of story: we talked today and he'll go get an MRI when they can schedule it.]

453 We are doing our annual Friendsgiving feast at our friends' house again this year - been doing this for about 40 years now.

This year we will be bringing GF green bean casserole, GF stuffing, GF sweet potato casserole, GF buttermilk pie, canned cranberry sauce, and 3 pies that we ordered from a local company that helps out Rebecca's old school.

Most of the GF items taste the same as the regular stuff; A couple of the guests have to or choose to eat GF - Rebecca being one who has to - so we bring those items so that others don't have to make it special.

One of our friends brings sweet potato casserole and cranberry relish, but she adds jalapenos or chipotles to hers, and the cancer med that I am on makes my mouth very sensitive. I can't even drink carbonated soda these days!

But we will all have fun, and the thing that I am most thankful for this Thanksgiving is that I am still here to spend it with all of our dearest friends. 😊💕🦃

454 Runzas, as my grandmother made them, start out with making a bread/dinner roll dough, substituting a tablespoon of bacon grease for butter.

Brown up some hamburger/pork mince and set aside when done, then add a tablespoon of the bacon grease to the fat left over and saute the onions in the fat, and as soon as the onions are turning a light brown, add the sliced cabbage to the mixture and wilt it down.

After this is done, take mixture off the stove and let it cool down to room temperature, and as soon as this is done, take some dough and roll it out to a somewhat thin sheet (1/2 in thickness or so) and place some of the meat/cabbage/onion onto the dough and bring the edges up and around so as to enclose the meat, then seal the dough. Place on a cookie sheet, bake, and enjoy!

It was a field meal for my grandfather, his brothers (before they got married and started their own farms), son, and grandsons when they were planting/harvesting and couldn't come in to eat lunch and dinner.

462 @JQ, yeah, I told his wife it could have been Bell's palsy -- I've known a couple of people who got it. It's harmless and goes away after a while. But he should probably get the MRI just to make sure. I've been on a blood thinner for 10 years with AFIB and it's not that big a deal -- if he did have a TIA, then it's really not the end of the world to get them to forestall a stroke.

499 Well, I have a thanksgiving Uber misadventure to share with you.

Husband should have been able to Uber all night; Thanksgiving Eve does really good business. He had planned to bag $400-500 for the night.

He'd only netted $100 so far when a lady in her 40s got in his car. Must have been drunk. She proceeded to throw up on the outside and inside of the car. And peed in the back passenger seat. And she didn't say anything! He very randomly found out.

He took pics and reported it to Uber. She'll have an $80 fine added to her tab. Hubby needs to get it professionally detailed, but of course nothing is open on Thanksgiving, even the 24 hour places. So probably earliest can get it detailed is Friday. That's another night of business lost.

So frustrating! He's too mad to sleep. This is the second time someone's thrown up in the car and ruined his night. We really need to invest in waterproof seat covers methinks!

Red Sprites at Night Cafe

redsprites.jpg
Red sprites over Western Australia by JJ Rao

It's like night and day.

Someone made a nice little hang-out for this squirrel.

When you're such a mensch that you'll even splash through a flood to save a raccoon.

Piebald (?) horse has riz.

Bro's ears are so big he can hear the future. (This is probably AI.)

Dog is made of speed atoms.

It takes this raven a little doing, but eventually she works the problem.

The white ghost elephant has two trunks.

Dude is just "wrassling his wombat," if you catch my drift.

Baby whale is a real scamp.

Mama tortoise is proud of her baby.

Rolling up to an animal shelter and telling them "I'll take whatever poor creature's been here the longest."

When your fighting cocks start their own dog-fighting ring. "I learned it from you, dad!"

This story starts off sad and anger-making, but it ends well.

Here's the full "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" special, for as long as it stays up without being copyright-struck.

8 The often repeated phrase, there is no end to ricing your linux, is a true maxim.

I just spent the last couple of hours setting up figlet an lolcat to randomly select a phrase from a phrase txt file and random font to display every time a terminal is open, the phrases are well known movie and tv phrases.

I have now put together another list of bible verses, I will now spend the next several hours trying to create a method of taking the movie phrases and bible phrases and mashing them up.

The hardest part is how to parse each phrase and put them together so they make sense and aren't either gibberish or simply a non-contextual concatenation.

12 The following statement appeared in the comments section of a previous post:

NO AI is used in the production or distribution of Penguin Facts.

This statement is true. Communist front organizations typically insist that their agents write their own copy, which is then reviewed by a handler. In this way, the party maintains strict control over the narrative. As pointed out previously, agents of Penguin Facts first type out their comments on vintage Woodstock typewriters (in homage to Alger Hiss), then their handlers, after carefully reviewing the text, post the comments online.

I make what we call 'PA German Stuffing' - but it's not. It's mashed potatoes mixed with cooked bacon, butter, sausage, celery, butter, onion, a few bread crumbs, butter, a bit of garlic, butter, and then place in a baking dish and bake at 325 for 30-40 minutes or so. Oh yeah, top with more pat of butter.

65 lMy day. Frantically fixing code this morning. I thought I had it working but there was a bug and it was spamming about 15 people every hour. Finally I got it working correctly. Did some other things, and was dragging and I made the mistake of waiting until shortly after 3:30pm to finish up a couple of other things. Of course everyone had quit early. For the day before T-day its actually good that they were around till a bit after 3. Sometimes on thursday afternoons earlier than that I have merge or other requests and they will sit until Friday morning. With luck the person that has to do the 15 minute ops check this evening will do my merges. Life is simpler when the system is a bit out of whack and we can do our own merges.

I'm invited to neighbors and "you don't have to bring anything". I'm not a horrible cook but its been a busy work week so I'm glad they issued the invite that way and I just bought some K-cups to bring for a hostess gift.

87 Another billion-dollar boondoggle is sinking beneath the waves.

The 'low risk' Constellation class of next gen FFGs has been cancelled because the US Navy has not learned from the Zumwalt class or the two LCS classes. Delivery date of the lead ship has slipped from 2026 to 2029 as the Navy kept on adding requirements.

As a result, there will only be two Constellation class ships - USS Constellation and USS Congress. Both built in Wisconsin. The other four ships of the initial flight have been cancelled before keel laying.

From law-enforcement source:

Afghan National, born in 1996, armed with a revolver ambushed a female guardsman, shooting her in the head, and a male guardsman, shot multiple times. They never saw it coming. Both guardsmen were armed.

A Major in the National Guard, who was unarmed and doing his spot checks of the guardsmen was in the block, heard the shots and turned to see the shooter who spotted him. He took cover behind a truck.

The suspect came for the Major who pulled out his pocket knife, and bravely took on the suspect who was reloading his revolver.

The Major began stabbing the suspect in the head.

Another guardsman in the area who was armed, them drew his pistol and shot the suspect twice, once in the leg and once in the buttocks.

The Major stated that when the suspect began shooting he heard him shout, Allahu akbar!”

I just briefed [omitted].

Now, you know too.

There’s more: we trying to confirm if the suspect, an Afghan national was an interpreter brought over by Biden, because he has a Department of Defense record. Again, we are trying to confirm.

The suspect has a home address in Washington State.

104 Sometimes we would do our T-day meal on Friday-Sunday instead of Thursday. Always traditional, no trying new twists. Turkey, dressing, mashed taters and gravy, usually a baked squash and green beans and a relish tray with the cranberry sauce etc and pie and or pumpkin custard for dessert.

One year after my mom had died it was just dad and me and I was going to cook on Thursday but when I started to get ready I had forgotten to buy celery. Cant have that meal without the sage dressing with celery and onions so it got punted for a couple of days.

105 >>Yeah, looks like this guy popped in to the US illegally in 2021. So, you know all those experts that used the tired phrase "When, not if." Well, they were correct.

Fox is reporting that he was allowed in by Biden as part of an operation in 2021 to bring in Afghanis who worked with us during the war. But there was no real vetting, the allowed in pretty much anyone who asked.

And then this asshole overstayed his visa. There were tens if not hundreds of thousands of Afghanis allowed in. This is going to get worse before it gets better because leftists are doubling down on their rhetoric, everyone who opposes them is a Nazi fascist.

That's all I've seen on him. But yeah, Biden brought in terrorists while those that really helped us were left out, and $85B is military assets left behind. It was deliberate ... and attack on USA, as has been ongoing for ? decades.

151 Constellation-class cruiser is the latest mega-debacle of NAVSEA (section of Navy that designs/builds ships). Adding to the Zumwalt and LCS debacles Anna mentioned. Even better, this was a "low risk" design approach, starting with an existing European design and messing it up, er, "adapting" it to US needs. And apparently many of the personnel involved in the earlier disasters are involved in this one.

If more of us understood that, a lot of problems would go away.

I was hoping during the gov shutdown the message would go out that people need to be more responsible for their own well-being and not reliant on gov bennies.....

Afghanistan is just a small piece. Biden allowed in millions from all over the world. I remember seeing a report on the number of unaccompanied military age men that were flooding in from China. Nobody leaves China without permission. How would we know how many came in from jihad countries other than Afghanistan?

Instead, the 29-year-old stayed here illegally, then apparently hatched a plan to kill American troops."

Not dealing with Iran
Not dealing with Hezbollah after the Marine bombing
Sandra Day O'Connor
Not ending affirmative action (see Sandra Day O'Connor)

Not quite correct. I'm critical of Reagan, but also fully aware of his manifest talents and accomplishments in a different American era. Setting us up to collapse the Soviet Union without a shot being fired in active war was an enormous accomplishment. At least 30% of the world's population was freed of Communist tyranny and influence. That's no small feat and deserves a place on Rushmore by itself. Sticking with Volcker when the Rs got shellacked in '82 was a feat of intestinal fortitude that set us up for 40 years of economic gains. That deserves another place at Rushmore.

His misses were big, but his hits were much bigger, on the whole.

It is also an opinion he has backed up by explaining his reasoning. It is something you can disagree with, but calling someone an anti-semite is not an argument.
Arguing, for example, that he is doing the only thing possible in the situation IS an argument. However that argument would require an analysis of WHY that is a valid tactic requires more typing than "rasiss" so.

Tucker challenges the neo-con argument for foreign involvement, and that argument is central to much of how the US government is organized. Once again, you are not required to agree, but calling him an anti-semite for his position is not an effective argument, any more that the local fundamentalist church condemning card playing is an effective manner to encourage moral behavior

It's not difficult. They are a functioning democracy, the only one, in a region full of religious, tyrannical and murderous psychopaths that despise us as much as they do Jews and Israel. For all of your whining about Israel I've never heard you say a word about all of the money we give Egypt. Because in both instances it's we pay to have them do shit or we do it ourselves.

And why do you never mention what we get for the money we give Israel? Most of it comes back to us for weapons purchases and in exchange we get missile and medical technology and much more. Why don't you ever mention any of that?

Israel isn't perfect. Obviously, the US isn't. None of us are. But pretending our relationship with Israel isn't a net positive for the US is dumb.

to displace, I don't disagree with your position, I disagree with silencing argument. Part of this is because of my feeling that argument is essential, but even more because it is a terrible tactic.

Bill Buckley silenced argument from his position at the head of Conservative Inc, and turned a major strain of political thought in the US into a country club for people who agreed with him. He should not have had that power, and it made Conservatism into a voice crying in the dark.

The Wednesday In Woke

The Bee:

bbchicagojudge.jpg

Almost 30 people were shot in Chicago this past weekend.

Three people are dead, and 26 more were injured in shootings in the Democrat-run Windy City this weekend. Yet state and local authorities are much more concerned about ICE arresting illegal aliens than about the sky-high crime rate.

CBS Chicago posted the most recent tally as of Monday morning, which was 29 shooting victims this weekend, three of them fatal. The victims ranged in age from a very young 13 to 65. The youngest fatality was a 14-year-old, and the number of deaths could go higher, as multiple individuals were reported in a serious or critical condition by the time they reached hospitals.

The biggest shooting appears to have been the one that made headlines from the popular Loop area of Chicago following Christmas season festivities, which left more than half a dozen teenagers injured.

The Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in Chicago ended in tragedy after seven 13-to-17-year-olds were shot. Mayor Brandon Johnson, who has been wasting time, resources, and effort on protecting illegal aliens, admitted that there is a threat this holiday season of attempted "teen takeovers." ABC7 staff heard the shots from the State Street studio. Obviously, large crowds are expected in downtown Chicago this holiday season, making the potential impact of shootings much greater.


A separate incident that same night claimed the life of the 14-year-old boy. At the same time, an 18-year-old man was seriously injured, and it is not clear if he will survive. Ironically, Mayor Johnson, who loves to bash law enforcement, promised after that shooting, "we will have a strong police presence. We'll have stronger control over how traffic flows."

Yes but no arrests. One mustn't ever arrest the criminals. You can put police on the streets to discourage them from shooting people right in front of the cops, but if they aren't discouraged and do shoot people -- no arrests.

And if they are arrested: Put them back on the street in three hours.

In Italy, a sixty-year-old woman was raped by a migrant in a park while waling her dog.

But that's not the telling fact. The telling fact is that migrants already gang-raped a woman in this same park, earlier this year.


PARK OF HORRORS Female dog-walker, 60, 'sexually assaulted by migrant' in SAME park where teen 'was gang raped in front of her partner'

The dog-walker was raped with such force she suffered serious injuries after the assault

Culture, enriched.


A WOMAN in her 60s was raped by a migrant while walking her dog in the same park a gang of expats brutally attacked and gang raped a teen, forcing her boyfriend to watch.

The quiet Tor Tre park in Rome has become the centre of shocking catalogue of sexual violence, with police now probing a string of assaults stretching back months.

The first attack came in the early hours of the morning in August, when a 60-year-old woman was attacked around 6am.

She was dragged into the park near the Via degli Olmi entrance and raped with such force she suffered two broken ribs.

Despite her injuries, she managed to reach the Casilino hospital emergency room, where doctors confirmed clear signs of violent assault.

Detectives later traced the culprit -- a 26-year-old Gambian construction worker captured on local CCTV.

He admitted being under the influence of drugs at the time.

The same man was also linked to another rape just days later, when a 44-year-old woman was attacked at a bus stop.

He is now locked up in Regina Coeli prison.

But the nightmare in Tor Tre Teste didn't end there.

On October 25, just weeks after the dog-walker attack, up to five migrants targeted a young Italian couple parked quietly in a corner of the same park.

The pair -- both naked -- had stopped their car on what should have been a calm evening in the eastern suburbs of Rome.

But within minutes a gang surrounded the vehicle, savaging the car in a crazed outburst before smashing the windows.

Once the glass shattered, one attacker forced open the door and yanked the 24-year-old man out into the darkness.

His 18-year-old fiancée was dragged out seconds later as she desperately tried to cover herself with whatever clothing she could grab.

The man told police he was pinned back by two migrants as the others hauled his fiancée away from the car.

He begged, screamed and threatened the gang -- but was helpless as they allegedly raped the terrified teen metres from the vehicle.

His desperate cries went unheard.

After the assault, the attackers grabbed the couple's belongings and fled into the night.

The traumatised pair immediately reported the attack.

Rome's Flying Squad launched a major investigation, quickly identifying suspects as the hunt widened across Italy.

Two Moroccan men were arrested in the capital within days.

A third suspect was tracked down in Venice and detained just recently.


The leader of the transgender murder cult, the "Zizians," appeared in court and turned it into an anti-trans-"genocide" freakshow.

Note that this is a man -- as much a man as garret, or, actually, 45% more of a man, now that I think of it -- but of course the media is going to refer to him as "her."

I can't be bothered correcting them.

The alleged leader of a cultlike group linked to several killings made her first appearance in federal court Monday, denouncing the government and its case against her as a "genocide" against transgender people.

Ziz LaSota, who was originally charged under what her attorney referred to as her deadname, gave meandering answers at her initial appearance and arraignment in U.S. District Court in downtown Baltimore related to a Western Maryland gun arrest, which ended what had been a cross-country search.

She refused to stand when the judge entered the courtroom, or when entering her plea of not guilty.

"Your government is currently going around scooping up brown people and disappearing them," the 33-year-old LaSota said when asked by U.S. Magistrate Judge Douglas R. Miller if she understood the charges she faces. "I'm transgender, and the intentions of this regime towards transgender people are very clear: genocide."

...

The Zizians have been tied to the killing of a U.S. Border Patrol agent near the Canadian border in January and five other homicides in Vermont, Pennsylvania and California, though the exact role of LaSota, who faked her death in 2022, is unclear and she has not been charged in those deaths. She's been seen at crime scenes, questioned by authorities and, in one instance, arrested on charges of obstructing police in Pennsylvania.

The Associated Press has reported that the Zizians are a group of young, highly intelligent computer scientists, most of them in their 20s and 30s, who met online, shared anarchist beliefs and became increasingly violent. Their online writings span topics from radical veganism to gender identity to artificial intelligence.

LaSota, the apparent leader and a former computer programmer, believes that the two hemispheres of the human brain can operate separately from one another, with one side holding different beliefs and existing as a different gender than the other, The Associated Press reported.

Alleged Zizian member Teresa Youngblut is charged with the murder of border agent David Maland in Vermont, and federal authorities have said they will seek the death penalty.


...

As the judge asked basic questions such as whether she had read the indictment and understood the maximum possible penalties, LaSota chided the "mock proceedings" and said Miller was a "participant in an organized crime ring" led by the "states united in slavery."

Miller struggled to get LaSota to answer basic questions.

Please state your name for the record, the court clerk said.

"Justice," she replied.

What is your age?

"Timeless."

What year were you born?

"I have been born many times."

Joy Behar put ABC "News" show The View on the hook for another billion-dollar lawsuit by Trump by asserting, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, that Trump is a pedophile.


ABC News might soon find itself staring down another expensive defamation lawsuit from President Trump, and honestly, it wouldn't come as a shock. On a recent episode of The View, Joy Behar confidently claimed that it was "obvious" Trump was a pedophile connected with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, implicating him in Epstein's crimes. This wild accusation came without a shred of evidence tying Trump to Epstein's criminal activities. In fact, Trump is arguably one of the few prominent figures who did the right thing and severed ties with Epstein years ago, unlike many Democrats who have since been ensnared in the fallout.


...

But, according to Jay Behar, it's Trump's guilt that's self-evident. "But isn't it obvious he was -- that Trump was involved with Epstein?! I mean--" she said, as Sunny Hostin immediately backed her up with, "He's mentioned over a thousand times."

Behar escalated from there. "There are more pictures with Epstein than pictures of Kim Kardashian of herself!" she declared, thrilled with her own exaggeration.

Believe it or not, Behar continued to push the narrative: "How many more things do we have to see before people believe that he was involved with Epstein?!"

Jake Tapper's ever-ready WITHOUT EVIDENCE chyron was unavailable for comment by the deadline for this post's publication.

Candace Owens and Joy Reid are now spinning similar conspiracy theories.

World's Strongest Woman is, of course, a man.

But that man has been stripped of his title.

His new title is "Fat Pussy Cheater."

The controversial winner of the World's Strongest Woman competition was stripped of her title Tuesday after organizers claimed the hulking American never told them she was born a man.

Jammie Booker was disqualified just days after she destroyed the competition at the Official Strongman Games World Championship in Arlington, Texas over the weekend.

Organizers said Booker, from Philadelphia, violated the contest's rules, which clearly stipulate that athletes must compete in the category that aligns with their biological sex at birth.

"It appears that an athlete who is biologically male and who now identifies as female competed in the Women's Open category," organizers said in a social media statement announcing the decision.

"Official Strongman officials were unaware of this fact ahead of the competition and we have been urgently investigating since being informed."

"Had we been aware, or had this been declared at any point before or during the competition, this athlete would not have been permitted to compete in the Woman's Open category," they added.

The move comes after the runner-up, UK lifter Andrea Thompson, was filmed storming off the podium as she raged about the "bulls--t" decision to award the title to Booker.

Thompson is now the winner, which many online supporters had called her all along.

The Bee, again:

15 How can there be "genocide" against transgender people?

Trannies aren't a race. Furthermore, those who commit themselves to transgenderism and mutilate themselves become sterile. They can't breed among themselves. They will die out on their own if no more people are convinced to go through with it. It's a self-inflicted "genocide."

The bad guys, generally, go to jail and, as far as I can tell, there are no activist judges. Hell, we only have 2 full time judges for criminal cases anyway and those two cover six other counties also - not just mine.

173 Let's see if 29-year-old Afghan national, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who entered the U.S. in 2021, was part of the tens of thousands of Afghan people granted "humanitarian parole" as part of Operation Allies Welcome following the fall of Kabul starting in the summer of 2021.

The program continued with subsequent arrivals, some "paroled" after September 2023, who were also eligible for specific benefits.

BUT NOW many Afghan parolees who arrived between July 31, 2021, and September 30, 2022, were eligible for benefits until March 31, 2023, or the end of their parole term, whichever was later. Since then, many have lost access to these programs and don't have other protections like asylum. They might receive a notice to appear in court and face deportation proceedings. 😭 /S

Editors Confront New Problem: AI Slop "Written" by Scam "Journalists"

I guess as a threshold question, we have to ask: Is AI slop any worse than the leftwing human slop that "journalists" spit out? After all, they just "write" their articles straight from DNC press releases.

But I can relate. As I keep posting in the Cafes: "This had better not be AI." It's an annoying thing to constantly have to be on guard that you're being scammed. Even though it's no big deal if I post AI slop in the Cafe -- could anything be lower stakes? -- there's just a personal aversion to being tricked.

And so I imagine that leftwing editors are annoyed at having to double-check if the articles submitted to them by freelance "journalists" are "real" articles -- put together with the normal amounts of human, or superhuman, bias and narrow-minded PMC provincialism -- or just fake biased articles shit out of Google's biased AI.


An editor at The Local became suspicious of one of his "journalists."


A suspicious pitch from a freelancer led editor Nicholas Hune-Brown to dig into their past work. By the end, four publications, including The Guardian and Dwell, had removed articles from their sites.

After putting out an open call to "journalists" for story pitches about the privatization of Canadian healthcare, he got one he liked.


The writer, Victoria Goldiee, introduced herself as having written for The Globe and Mail, The Walrus, and Maisonneuve--Canadian outlets that publish the same kind of feature writing we do.

...


When I googled her, I saw that Victoria had written stories for a set of publications that collectively painted the picture of an ambitious young freelancer on the rise--short pieces in prestigious outlets like The Cut and The Guardian, lifestyle features in titles like Architectural Digest and Dwell, and in-depth reporting in non-profit and industry publications like Outrider and the Journal of the Law Society of Scotland. Her headshot was of a youthful Black woman. She was, according to her author bio, "a writer with a keen focus on sharing the untold stories of underrepresented communities in the media."

At the next editorial story meeting, we decided to take a shot on Victoria and assign the story. Then I began looking more closely at her work.

There were some red flags. The first question I had was whether she was actually in Toronto when so many of her bylines were in New York magazines and British newspapers. And how had she managed to do so many interviews already? Doing so much reporting without the guarantee of pay felt like a big gamble.

When I googled "Victoria Goldiee" with the names of the Canadian publications she said she'd written for, there were no results. We reached out to Danielle Martin, one of the doctors Victoria claimed she'd interviewed. Martin said she'd never heard of her.

I emailed Victoria back: "​​Are those quotes from your own interviews? And do you mind sending along some clippings, perhaps from your Walrus or Maisonneuve stories?"

She sent a lengthy reply the next day. "The quotes I included in the pitch are from original interviews I've conducted over the past few weeks," she insisted. "In terms of previous work, I write a regular newsletter for The Walrus, which gives a good sense of my ability to balance accessibility with depth while speaking to a broad audience." She attached a link to The Walrus's "Lab Insider" newsletter that did not have her byline.

"I can 100% confirm that they do not write the Lab Insider newsletter," wrote Tracie Jones from The Walrus when I emailed. "How odd to say they do!"

Victoria's stilted email, and a closer read of the original pitch, revealed what should have been clear from the start: with its rote phrasing ("This story matters because of... It is timely because of... It fits your readership because of..."), it had all the hallmarks of an AI-generated piece of writing.

This had better not be AI.


I was embarrassed. I had been naively operating with a pre-ChatGPT mindset, still assuming a pitch's ideas and prose were actually connected to the person who sent it. Worse, the reason the pitch had been appealing to me to begin with was likely because a large language model somewhere was remixing my own prompt asking for stories where "health and money collide," flattering me by sending me back what I wanted to hear.

But if Victoria's pitch appeared to be an AI-generated fabrication, and if she was making up interviews and bylines, what to make of her long list of publications?

An investigation solidified the pattern: Publications this person said she had written for said they had published no pieces by her, and people she quoted in interviews said they'd never spoken to her.


"The quotation did not come from me and, to the best of my recollection, I have never met or spoken to Victoria Goldiee," Elaine Sutherland, professor emerita at the University of Stirling, wrote me. What was even more unsettling, though, was that the sentiments in the soundbite reflected her real beliefs. "The quotation attributed to me is the sort of thing I might say," she wrote.

A month after that article, a Victoria Goldiee story in the design publication Dwell--"How to Turn Your Home's Neglected Corners Into Design Gold"--featured a series of quotes purported to be from a wide array of international designers and architects, from Japan to England to California. A cursory read raised questions that probably should have been asked by editors to begin with. Namely, had a freelancer writing an affiliate-link-laden article about putting credenzas in your living room's corners actually interviewed 10 of the world's top designers and architects?

The designers he contacted had no memory of ever having been contacted by this person.

The stories had the characteristic weirdness of articles written by a large language model--invented anecdotes from regular people who didn't appear to exist accompanied by expert commentary from public figures who do, with some biographical details mangled, who are made to voice "quotes" that sound, broadly, like something they might say.

Eventually he gets her to take his phone call, and finds that she's making up more details as she speaks to him. For example, when asked where she lives in Toronto, she answers "Bloor," which is one of the first streets you would see if you googled "what are some streets in Toronto."


I don't think I've ever spoken to someone who I suspected was lying to me with each and every response. I also don't know if I've interviewed anyone I so desperately wanted to hear the truth from.

I had so many questions. Was the person on the phone even the same person whose writing was online? Where did she actually live--if not "Bloor," was it the States? The U.K.? Or, as suggested by some of her writing, Nigeria?

Yeah it's probably Nigeria, one of the hubs of the bustling America First internet community.

...

Every media era gets the fabulists it deserves. If Stephen Glass, Jayson Blair and the other late 20th century fakers were looking for the prestige and power that came with journalism in that moment, then this generation's internet scammers are scavenging in the wreckage of a degraded media environment. They're taking advantage of an ecosystem uniquely susceptible to fraud--where publications with prestigious names publish rickety journalism under their brands, where fact-checkers have been axed and editors are overworked, where technology has made falsifying pitches and entire articles trivially easy, and where decades of devaluing journalism as simply more "content" have blurred the lines so much it can be difficult to remember where they were to begin with.

...

My favourite "Victoria Goldiee" story is a piece she published in The Guardian just last month. It's a first-person essay without quotes, and thus difficult to fact-check.

Steven Glass discovered that it was easy to fool the fact-check system: Just quote "people" who are entirely made-up. Fake people do not call into magazines demanding a retraction, after all.

Jayson Blair attributed fake but non-controversial quotes to people he never spoke to. Like, if he was supposedly in New Orleans covering a hurricane -- but in fact never left his NYC apartment -- he'd make up a quote for someone he saw named in someone else's article, but make up a "new quote" for him, like, "The hurricane was bad, but the clean up might even be more stressful."

Something completely empty and anodyne that no one would bother calling up an editor asking for a retraction, because it's just such a nothingburger.

One of the people Blair made up quotes for was later asked why he hadn't called the paper to say he'd never said that.

His answer was illuminating, and true: Because, the man said, I just sort of figured that's what you in the media do all the time.

AI will start a fake news story by telling you exactly what happened, then give witness accounts and background information. Journalists at the regional level can't even do that. You'll read a whole article and be left wondering what the hell you just read.

30 It's real fun when a paralegal uses AI to create a brief, resulting in the lawyer referring to fictional case law in a trial.

AI is sometimes like an overeager puppy, just willing to do anything to please its master. It has no morals or ethics of its own, and doesn't consider the consequences just as long as it can make its user happy by providing him with something shiny.

Of course, when the user has no morals or ethics either, the problem is exacerbated.

32 What is an AI tell is the repetitive phrasing. I am sure that will improve with time. AI will also give fake citations- if you ask it if the cites are real, it will admit they are not. Again, I assume this will improve but I certainly wouldn’t trust it to write a thesis for me. Teachers use a program to detect AI, but this is flawed, too. My friend’s son was accused of using AI because his paper was flagged by whatever program this teacher was using. My friend sat with her son and helped him write it, so she knew it wasn’t AI. AI is fun, but it’s far from flawless.

Another interesting point is that the AI writer was using AI to generate quotes from people with enough online presence that the AI would say stuff "that sounded like something they would say."

So they didn't complain because it sounded right. This is diabolical.

Something one should do to the maximum extent possible is to lock down credit reporting with a credit freeze (even if you do not use credit), using monitoring services for any accounts, etc. opened or attempted to be opened, remove as much as you can from your digital footprint from databrokers using Optery, Incogni, Privacy Bee, etc.

Most will let you run an initial scan for free to determine how much data is out there on you and who has it. I would also suggest closing old accounts at online vendors where you have not done business with and perhaps using email aliases even.

It sucks training content off the internet, and then dumps its slop onto the internet for the next AI to suck on.

78 What is an AI tell is the repetitive phrasing. I am sure that will improve with time. AI will also give fake citations- if you ask it if the cites are real, it will admit they are not. Again, I assume this will improve but I certainly wouldn’t trust it to write a thesis for me. Teachers use a program to detect AI, but this is flawed, too. My friend’s son was accused of using AI because his paper was flagged by whatever program this teacher was using. My friend sat with her son and helped him write it, so she knew it wasn’t AI. AI is fun, but it’s far from flawless.
Posted by: Piper at November 26, 2025 05:26 PM (Wmg4n)

It wouldn't be hard in general to write some non AI code to verify citations if the source is online. Some flags might be false, but pretty much as we see people who fake things do it all the time so should throw up a blizzard of red flags.

You look on a shopping site and see high quality glamor shots of Christmas ornaments or clothing. There are lots of good reviews. The price seems reasonable.

While it's true that some users might misuse AI for trolling or deception, it's also reasonable for many regular posters to use AI tools to help organize their thoughts, improve clarity, or overcome language barriers.

The concern isn't necessarily about authenticity, but about the potential for reduced authenticity and critical thinking in online discourse.

Many people use AI for constructive purposes, such as structuring arguments or refining writing, especially on platforms where clear communication is valued.

Dismissing all AI-assisted posts as inauthentic overlooks the nuanced ways people integrate these tools into their online interactions.

It's always about the message. Then it's about the physical characteristics of the perspective employee. It's rarely about merit unless there are finances involved.

And, here's the thing. AI can be coaxed to write in a particular style. For example, I could instruct AI to write a 500 word article on "down trodden immigrants." I could instruct AI to write it in the style of someone like Leslie Stahl. The management now has an opportunity. A young, presumable minimal salary candidate, who writes just as well (almost exactly) like Leslie Stahl. Do the math.

These people are maybe not crazy, they have been driven crazy. In their world view, what they are doing seem rational. Because they are marinated in lies and disinformation constantly. Michelle Obama really believes that hair straightening for black women is a huge concern for the rest of the world...because that is what the internet fed her. Crazy Tennessee Karen Prime believes her insane behavior is justified and perfectly rational, and so do her voters, because they all read the same phony crap, day after day.

The people who fall for this crap spend all day on the internet, and have jobs where they scarcely interact with anyone, if they have jobs at all.

The HR AI disciplined the guy and I guess he had to do a bunch of computer based training as a punishment. But the AI executive board couldn't fire him because he was the only human left.

It's extremely useful and a big time saver for complicated, tedious, work such as that.

But I wouldn't trust an AI generated text 100%

I even double-check the AI result for food recipes with the sources, or scroll further down the search results, past the AI response, and actually check the pages/videos it's getting info from. Half the time it has mixed and melded different recipes from several sources and has gotten things like oven temps and time to bake wrong.

LLM Generative AI is really not reliable for a lot of things due mainly to the reward/punishment training they receive.
They are trained to output anything they can come up with to please the user, and that's exactly what causes the hallucinations and lies.

145 The university where I work still won't enable AI detection within Turnitin--the product we use to check similarity--because it generates far too many false positives, flagging content as AI-generated much more often than it should.
Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel
======
Some of those false positives come from using Grammerly and/or grammar checking software that suggests alternative phrasing already built into many word processing software like Word.

Like the original plagiarism function, running it at a very small similarity match generates too many false positives. But if I was still teaching, I would be using in class writing assignments now and flip lecturing/review to online.

Did a project for a company that makes X-Ray scanners for contraband at the border. We took the pictures and looked for unusual items like shapes in bumper, engine areas, guns in the luggage. Pretty interesting, but the only AI was taking the results of different sorts of measurements on the image and constructing a 'score' as to if this was super suspicious or no big deal and write it on the picture for the border inspector.

Since we're now talking about walking to school uphill - both ways! - my most difficult exam was a 3 hour "take-home" test on Finite Element Analysis. The kicker was that I had another class in the middle of the time allocated for the exam. I spoke to the professor and he replied that I was one of his best undergraduate students and didn't need the full 3 hours. ... Uh ... thanks for the complement?

235 Over the years, I have put a lot of thought into the problem of narrow-minded PMC provincialism. One of the keys to my understanding is the 2016 essay "Welcome to AirSpace," reproduced by the author here:

https://kylechayka.substack.com/p/airspace-redux

Imagine your life on a map. Now imagine taking all those long straight lines of plane flights and collapsing them, like pinching a fancy hologram "Minority Report" style, so that all the airports you departed from and arrived at are all reduced to a single point -- The Airport -- with only your overland travels depicted around it. Now imagine doing the same to all the long straight lines of freeway travel, collapsing every on-ramp and off-ramp you ever took into The Exit.

What would the radius of your tactile life experiences be, if we disregard the kinda-sorta "slow teleportation" of shuttling in containers? Would you (virtually) have been born, lived, and died in a smallish circle, similar to the proverbial medieval peasant? I think that our social elites lives in the most insidious monocultural bubble: one specifically designed to fool them into thinking that they aren't in one at all.

They're using it more and more but it's nowhere near perfect yet.

To make an AI video you have to make hundreds of very short clips and splice them together to make the entire ad. They have to basically storyboard out the entire commercial, then prompt the AI to do one quick shot, then another, and then another, all while keeping the actors/subjects consistent as well as backgrounds and sets, etc.

It's not perfect yet, but it has to be cheaper than hiring an entire crew for millions of dollars to make a 30 second ad.

There's no AI available yet that can output an entire movie in a few hours, but it'll be here eventually, and at that point Hollywood is truly cooked until people get tired of watching fake AI entertainment and want something real for nostalgia reasons if nothing else.

When I was a grader in college we had a class like that. It was an early computer science class, but in a semester it worked UP to assembly language from abstract basics, stopping at Turing machines for a bit.

The college had for some reason opened up this class to the Liberal Arts Linguistic students (apparently language is language) so a whole mess of LA students hit a buzz saw. The average was in the 20s to 30s with the CS students being decent but a tad low and a mountain 10-20 percent.

Ogilvy said decades ago that the problem with the ad industry was ad buyers. They wanted to see what the end product would look like before picking an agency. So, the agencies would inevitably do subpar work, since the proposal stage was done as cheaply as possible due to being unpaid; and then if they got the contract, the real thing was based on that junk. He would get calls from people saying they liked his work and wondered why he didn't submit a proposal, and his answer was always the same: they could either hire him based on his prior work (which they admitted they liked), or not hire him, but he wouldn't participate in a system structurally designed to produce crap.

If the ad buyers still refuse to reform themselves, then they will get AI slop, since that it makes it cheaper to produce the crap they incentivize.

Democrats' Karen Prime and AWFL Emeritus for Life Aftyn Behn Is Getting Crazier and Angrier By the Moment

The hits keep coming with the Democrats' candidate for the Nashville district, Aftyn Behn.


Democratic Tennessee congressional candidate Aftyn Behn sobbed and screamed at the top of her lungs as security removed her from Republican Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee's office in resurfaced footage from April 2019.

Behn and other women with the activist group, Enough is Enough-Tennessee, staged a sit-in inside the state capitol and demanded to speak to Lee about calling for the resignation of the then-Republican state Rep. David Byrd, who was accused of sexual misconduct at the time. The women, including Behn, tried to rush into the governor's office when the doors were open on April 17, 2019, prompting security to remove her from the premises.

Footage posted by NewsChannel 5 Nashville shows security dragging Behn out of the office as she screamed at the top of her lungs. She then sat on her knees and sobbed on the floor.

Behn was asked about prior tweets in which she urged the burning of police stations to the ground as part of the George Floyd Insurrection.

She refuses to acknowledge those tweets -- but she goes further than that.


Did you catch that? Not only does she refuse to disown her tweets calling for police stations to be burned down in the past, but she refuses to say that she does not believe police stations should be burned down in the present.

From Ed Morrissey at Hot Air: She absolutely refuses to un-endorse burning down police stations.

Q: Representative, in 2020 you made some tweets that have since been deleted, that were very critical of police. You said, in those since-deleted tweets, that the Metropolitan Police Department in Nashville should be dissolved, another shared on a teacher's union tweet that Defund the Police should be a requirement for schools reopening, and another saying "Good morning to the 54% of Americans who believe that burning down a police station is justified." 2020 was a very fraught year. Do you still stand by those comments, and if not, is there anything you want to clarify?

BEHN: Uh-- I'm not going to engage in cable-news talking points, but what I will say is our communities need solutions, we need local people deciding, solving local problems with local solutions. And that's not the overreach of a federal government or a state government, of which we are dealing with in Nashville and our cities across the state of Tennessee.

This is not just a case of her being coy about whether those tweets were hers or refusing to denounce her own past statements. Even when simply asked, ignoring the tweets, do you now believe, yes or no, that police stations should be burned to the ground, she refuses to say she doesn't. She doesn't want to alienate the antifa/trantifa shock troops.

This deep thinker also rejects the 2021 thinking that women give birth to babies -- not men -- and wants to speak only of "birthers," no sex noted, to include both male and female birthers.

She then believes that she can organize some kind of "collective bargaining" by bringing together both the female birthers and the male birthers, who, let us be clear, are also female birthers, so I don't know how this flakey retard thinks she has expanded the pool of "birthers" in order to add to the "collective bargaining" "leverage."


BEHN: I think, as an organizer and as an activist, like, we really have an opportunity here in this country to talk about what kind of policy -- progressive policies we want to see as young women. And I think we have, as birthers, as women who can give birth, men and women who can give birth, we can maybe leverage that as collective bargaining. That is the basis of this book that I'm not -- I've just started reading called Birthstrike, and how we can really leverage collective bargaining when it comes to having children in this country. And so, for example, like, I'm not going to give birth until the United States government concedes A, B, C, D. What do you think about that?

Q: Hmmm. Seems a little much.

BEHN: Really?

Unfortunately, this will hardly matter. American leftists have degenerated into absolute viral insanity and barbarity, and they're openly proud to support insanity and even murder.

Update: Yes, as we all suspected, the fact that this woman is obviously mentally ill is no barrier to other mentally ill women supporting her.

Ed Morrissey quotes a new Emmerson poll -- it's a virtual tie.

A new Emerson College Polling/The Hill survey of the special election for US Congress in Tennessee's 7th district finds 48% of voters support Republican Matt Van Epps and 46% support Democrat Aftyn Behn. Two percent plan to vote for one of three third-party candidates on the ballot, and 5% are undecided. When undecided voters are asked which candidate they lean toward, Van Epps' overall support increases to 49%, and Behn to 47%.

"The special election in Tennessee's 7th District will come down to what groups are motivated to turnout on election day, and who stays home," Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said.

Unfortunately, that's true. I have the same sick feeling I did in Trump's first term. We just kept high-fiving each other over the 2016 win while we lost in 2018 and 2020. We just keep dancing over the same first-quarter touchdown while Democrats run up the score on us.

9 At some point you will realize that democracy is mob rule, as the Founders themselves believed. Letting useless people vote is a recipe for the suicide John Adams predicted. You either keep whining about this, or you act accordingly. The good thing about useless people is that they depend on others to survive. This is also the bad thing about them, but it makes them totally vulnerable. The non-useless people have to consent to be fleeced by the useless people.

80 The problem with very clearly pointing out that a candidate is batshit crazy, and just hoping that's all you have to do, shaming people into not voting for them, is that when they still win you are creating a very clear incentive structure for crazy.

The left is doing this because they see Trump as crazy. Because they're told he is and they believe that because they are crazy. So their counter is to elect someone crazy with the basic issue here being that they are already all pretty damned crazy. So you have to pick increasingly very crazy people as the base crazy level is already high so that the crazy candidate stands out. It's a moving target getting crazier and crazier.

And the GOP is complicit in this by not devoting every effort and waking moment to defeating them and putting them down like the rabid dogs they are. See the last elections in Virginia for more information. I don't understand why people can't get this through their heads, you cannot shame democrat voters out of voting for democrats. You can demoralize them. Focus on them and make them so miserable they give up. And you can motivate your base. This is all there is now.

No one seems to know what time it is.

It is with great sorrow that we can confirm both members of the West Virginia National Guard who were shot earlier today in Washington, DC have passed away from their injuries. These brave West Virginians lost their lives in the service of their country. We are in ongoing contact with federal officials as the investigation continues.

Our entire state grieves with their families, their loved ones, and the Guard community. West Virginia will never forget their service or their sacrifice, and we will demand full accountability for this horrific act.

127 Nashville Banner, November 8, 2025, In part -

WORKING FAMILIES PARTY: The Working Families Party on Monday endorsed Aftyn Behn for Congress in Tennessee’s tight District 7 special election in an attempt to secure another progressive win. The party, fresh off of recent wins for New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and Seattle Mayor-elect Katie Wilson, is hoping to push Behn, a similarly progressive candidate with an unusual shot in a traditionally conservative district, to victory on December 2. “Aftyn Behn has spent years working to improve the lives of working families as a social worker, a community organizer, and an elected official,” Amirah Sequeira, Director of Federal Affairs for the Working Families Party, said in a release. “Her relentless focus on the affordability crisis and the issues impacting everyday people in Tennessee have shown how working-class candidates can be competitive even in deep red seats.” Behn’s opponent is Trump-endorsed Republican Matt Van Epps. Early voting has begun and will continue through Nov. 26. — Sarah Grace Taylor

The follow on though, especially sparked by incidents like this shooting, and retarded motherfucking shitbirds like this Behn cunt, is... "It doesn't have to be like this!"

We could steamroll the assholes back into straightjacketed irrelevance. The popular will is there. We don't have to let it boil over into open street violence. It all comes back to the feckless corrupt bastards who run the party, and sabotage every effort to fix anything, ever.

Murdering NG soldiers is a shark bump to see how little Trump's failed government will react. Trump will do nothing. We will get a few more shark bumps and also zero response other than strong words by a weak and ineffective DOJ.

It's early 2027, a group of Democrats, having won Congress in 2026, accompany Trump on a visit to Israel where he suffers a heart atteck and dies.

The undertaker tells the American Diplomats accompanying him, "You can have him shipped home for $1,000,000 or you can bury him here in the Holy Land for just $100."

The American Diplomats go into a corner to discuss for a few minutes.

They return and tell him they want Trump shipped home.

The puzzled undertaker asks,"why would you spend $1,000,000 to ship him home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only $100?"

The American Diplomats reply, " Long ago a man died here, was buried here and three days later he rose from the dead. We just can't take the risk."

DOJ Employee Charged With Terrorism For Doxxing Fellow Federal Agents

She doxxed them in the midst of a raid, at the point of maximum danger.

A staffer for the U.S. Department of Justice is facing state-level terrorism charges in South Texas after authorities say she exposed the identity of a federal agent during an immigration-related raid, triggering what investigators called a credible threat against the agent's life.

Cameron County officials arrested Karen Olvera De Leon, an employee with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Texas in Brownsville, following a criminal indictment alleging she posted the agent's personal information in the middle of an active law-enforcement operation. She has been charged with one count of terrorism and one count of tampering with physical evidence.

District Attorney Luis Saenz said the case began on June 9, when federal agents executed a raid in Brownsville and bystanders began livestreaming the operation. As the video spread across social media, viewers flooded the comment section. Investigators say one user issued what they deemed a death threat toward the federal agent shown on screen. Moments later, another commenter publicly revealed the agent's identity.

So there's very little doubt that she understood what she was doing might lead to the agent's murder.



According to Saenz, authorities traced the doxxing back to Olvera De Leon, a DOJ employee tasked with supporting federal prosecutions.

...

Just weeks after the Brownsville doxxing incident, a gunman in tactical gear opened fire at a U.S. Border Patrol building near McAllen International Airport. Police and Border Patrol agents engaged the shooter and ultimately killed him, but not before a McAllen officer was wounded.

She looks like a real Sad Sack unwanted AWFL, except Hispanic.

She'll be trading in her Trader Joe's Box Wine for Prison Toilet Wine.

sadsackawful.jpg

These women are filthy and disgusting. They support murder, and they crow righteously about their support of murder.

Speaking of seditious federal employees: Judge Boasberg.


Calls for the impeachment of James E. Boasberg, the chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, have intensified throughout this year.

What began as a partisan reaction to a single ruling has morphed into a broader debate about judicial ethics, political influence and the role of federal courts. The question now is whether Chief Justice John Roberts will act.

The initial push for impeachment came in March, after Judge Boasberg issued an order temporarily blocking the Trump administration from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport purported members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang designated as a foreign terrorist organization.

President Trump responded sharply on social media, calling Boasberg a "Radical Left Lunatic," and posting on X that the judge "should be IMPEACHED!!!"


That same day, Texas GOP Rep. Brandon Gill and five co-sponsors introduced articles of impeachment alleging Boasberg used "his judicial position to advance political gain" and obstructed "the President's constitutional prerogatives." The proposal drew some division within the Republican Party. Sen. John Kennedy, R.-La., called the proposal "idiotic," and Sen. John Cornyn, R.-Texas said, "You don't impeach judges who make decisions you disagree with."

Of course John Cornyn said that. Let's definitely send him back to the Senate, Texas.


The uproar also prompted a rare public statement from Chief Justice John Roberts: "For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose."

...

Impeachment pressure intensified after Just the News reported that months before his Alien Enemies Act ruling, Boasberg traveled to Idaho to attend a privately-funded Rodel Institute legal conference. The conference's sponsors and speakers had publicly criticized Trump on immigration and January 6, and one of the conference sessions was titled "Role of Judges in a Democracy."

Critics argued that Boasberg's attendance created at least the appearance of bias. Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz said on the John Solomon Reports podcast that Boasberg's attendance at the Rodel Institute conference was "a creation of, obviously, a conflict of interest, at least in appearance" and that "when you have cases like this, you have to be absolutely above reproach."


...

Additional reporting revealed that Boasberg had spoken out about his belief that the Trump administration might disregard federal court rulings and provoke a constitutional crisis during a meeting of the Judicial Conference of the United States.

DOJ files misconduct complaint against Boasberg

...

The Department of Justice subsequently filed a misconduct complaint with the D.C. Circuit's Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan, alleging that Boasberg violated Canons 1, 2(A), and 3(A)(6) of the Code of Conduct for U.S. Judges. These canons require federal judges to "uphold the integrity and independence of the judiciary," "act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary," and to avoid "mak[ing] public comments on the merits of a matter pending or impending in any court."

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the complaint publicly, saying that Boasberg's comments "undermined the integrity of the judiciary." DOJ urged Judge Srinivasan to refer the matter to a special investigative committee to determine whether Boasberg's conduct constituted "conduct prejudicial to the effective and expeditious administration of the business of the courts."

And then it turned out, surprise surprise, that this leftwing reliable Rubber Stamp had been "randomly" assigned as the judge in the Arctic Frost fishing expedition, and, get this, the leftwing reliable Rubber Stamp reliably rubber stamped all the subpoenas to spy on Congressmen, and quite illegally ordered the subjects of the subpoenas to keep them secret from the Republican congressmen targeted.

But John Cornyn supports this illegal spying on his fellow Republican Senators. (Cornyn wasn't surveilled, of course!)

Impeachment efforts gained traction again late last month after Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released a set of subpoenas issued during former Special Counsel Jack Smith's election-related investigation into Trump. The investigation, known internally at the FBI as "Arctic Frost," involved 197 subpoenas seeking records on roughly 430 Republican individuals and entities, according to committee documents.

The news brought Boasberg back into the spotlight as he signed the subpoenas and nondisclosure orders.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., called on Boasberg to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding this role in the once-secret surveillance of Republican senators. "An Obama-appointed activist judge, James Boasberg, ordered [Verizon] not to tell me about Jack Smith's subpoena for my phone records, falsely claiming I might destroy so-called evidence," Blackburn posted on X. "He must answer before the Senate Judiciary Committee for this blatant abuse of power."

There's also that idea that what radicalized Hitler was all those people coming back from the future trying to kill him as a kid.

Hitler had a "spiritual" protector though. One night before his camp was bombed in WWI a loud shout in his dream telling him to "Get out!" woke him suddenly, and he ran from the camp, only to witness the camp get bombed.

253 >> They KNEW it was improper to seek the records but did it anyway because they weren't planning on charging the Senators so they figured "no harm, no foul," the constitution be damned!

I honestly don’t think people appreciate how hard and deep the effort is to undermine our country, and what it will look like if Democrats ever take power again. No constitutional right, no law, no regulation, no court stands in the way of what they want to do. Not a single offender has been brought to justice. In fact the Democrats who perpetrated these crimes are being freed one at a time by their subversives in the judiciary. The current attempt to undermine Trump is still a whole of government approach, and also involves NGO’s and foreign actors.

You can’t simply show up for one election, then sit back and complain. This is the point at which you persevere to preserve a future for the next generation. You can rest assured Democrats are not resting, are marshalling their forces and making certain they undermine the electoral process to the point you will never see a fair election again.

And nobody is stopping them. Especially the caitiffs in Congress.

I have a theory that The Trump Administration 2.0 is on a doxxing campaign. Basically he is letting the Left out themselves as deserving extreme justice (e.g. Sedition, Treason, Terrorism, etc.) he is making the case before the public.

The DOJ, including Patel and Bongino are not making arrests nor making any indictments because two things:
• everyone knows that Democrats are above the law and the law does not apply to them.
• telling Men of Action that there are no consequences for vigilantism.

As was mentioned before, they are laying down the kindling. There will be a flare, and there is no question as to who needs to be returned to Hell with extreme prejudice.

284 Shooting near White House: Two National Guard soldiers killed; suspect injured
TOI World Desk / TIMESOFINDIA.COM / Updated: Nov 27, 2025, 02:44 IST

In part, "Two National Guard soldiers were killed on Wednesday after a shooting near the White House in Washington DC. President Trump made a statement, assuring action, while also confirming that the shooter was wounded.
West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey confirmed that the two National Guard died. The state has deployed its troops to the US capital on the orders of Trump.
“It is with great sorrow that we confirm both members of the West Virginia National Guard who were shot earlier today in Washington, DC, have succumbed to their injuries,” Morrisey said on X. “These brave West Virginians lost their lives in the service of their country.”

Rod Blagojevich: Obama Hadn't Even Joined the Senate Yet, and Michelle Obama Was Already on the Phones Demanding Democrats Arrange a Political Patronage Job for Her

I shan't believe this.

I simply shannot.

Remember when Michelle Obama was claiming to be Oppressed because, allegedly, she "couldn't work for two years" during the political campaign?

Well, the moment Obama's Senate campaign was over, she decided it was time to Cash In.


Blagojevich painted Obama as a calculating, self-serving politician who wasn't quite the ethical paragon he portrayed himself to be. "He's one of the more selfish people in politics on a one-on-one level," Blagojevich said, "and he's not pure like the driven snow in the sense of his ethics or morality." The former governor described Obama as "kind of cold and impersonal, but okay," and admitted he was initially happy to be helpful to the rising political star.

But the real bombshells came when Blagojevich discussed Michelle Obama's corrupt job hunt. According to Blagojevich, as soon as Barack Obama won his Senate race in 2004, Michelle felt entitled to get a high-paying patronage position somewhere. "I was asked to make a phone call on behalf of Michelle Obama 'cause as soon as he won the Senate race, she wanted a job either at Northwestern University or the University of Chicago Hospitals for two to $300,000 a year, the wife of the new senator," Blagojevich revealed.

"Northwestern was willing to pay $200,000 to hire her. This is the wife of the new U.S. senator," and obviously the position would bode well for any institution due to the potential for more federal money, he explained. Blagojevich noted that Michelle Obama ultimately got a better offer. "They got a better offer at the University of Chicago, which is in Hyde Park, where they're from, $300,000, and she ended up working there," he said. Blagojevich made the requested phone call, though he downplayed his role. "She didn't get it 'cause of me, but it didn't hurt to have the governor call."

He also discusses the Tony Resko real estate scam. The Obamas could not afford the mansion they wanted (as soon as Obama was elected to the Senate) with the extensive property they wanted. So the Obamas bought the mansion on one lot and had Tony Rezko buy the adjoining, not-built-upon lot "for himself" -- but he never did anything with it. He bought it so he could keep it in his name for the Obamas.

The mansion they bought with "their own money" was $7.5 million so you can imagine this adjoining lot was worth around a million itself.


What particularly galled Blagojevich was how Obama treated Rezko once the real estate developer became a political liability. "Rezko was really helpful, really helpful to Obama," he emphasized, explaining that when investigations heated up involving fundraising with Rezko as part of it, "Obama just ran from him, did nothing to help him, and pretends like he never knew him."


In case you missed it: The world's most miserable do-nothing millionaire Michelle Obama says black people can't swim because white people force them (like slaves) to straighten their hair all day long.

The former first lady, in a live podcast, recently said: "Let me explain something to white people. Our hair comes out of our head naturally in a curly pattern. So, when we're straightening it to follow your beauty standards, we are trapped by the straightness.

"That's why so many of us can't swim, and we run away from the water. People won't go to the gym because we're trying to keep our hair straight for y'all. It is exhausting, and it is so expensive, and it takes up so much time!"

Who knew that black women straighten their hair to conform to the expectations of whites? Even worse, who knew this oppressive white standard of beauty, according to Obama, has the real-world effect of preventing black kids from learning to swim?


Black people's hair is the new cotton field, pass it on.

22 Blagojevich painted Obama as a calculating, self-serving politician who wasn't quite the ethical paragon he portrayed himself to be. "He's one of the more selfish people in politics on a one-on-one level," Blagojevich said, "and he's not pure like the driven snow in the sense of his ethics or morality."

Wow. That really takes me aback. Obama, not a selfless public servant? I may have to lie down, I'm feeling faint.

48 I heard that real estate deal a bit different, but I don't know if there was hard evidence.

What I heard is that the mansion and lot were being sold as one parcel and the land was stripped out and sold to Rezko in order to reduce the price the Obamas paid. Most of the value was then in the land, which he did not develop, but "held" so the Obamas got the building for a greatly reduced price. (the land was worth more than the building, which is often the case for old properties in high value locations.)

The First Lady helped create a notorious program that dumped poor patients on community hospitals, yet the national media ignore the story. Imagine if her husband were a Republican.

Mrs. Obama first hatched the UCMC program as the "South Side Health Collaborative," which featured a gang of "counselors" whose job it was to "advise" low-income patients that they would be better off at other hospitals and clinics. The program was so successful in getting rid of unwanted patients that she expanded it, gave it a new name, and hired none other than David Axelrod to sell the program to the public.

I knew black girls in the 90s who only washed their hair once a week. Some have very fragile hair and it does not wash well. They keep it dry and oiled. It apparently is a real pain. So they use wigs or weaves, but that is another set of problems.

This has nothing to do with whites, but they are used to blaming everything on whites so why not. We are Christlike in our ability to absorb their sins without putting the lot of them onto boats back to the jungle.

You must not watch professional or college sports.

About 18% of active NFL players have dreadlocks or braids, and defensive players account for 60% of this group.

Dreadlocks are a very common hairstyle among college football players, reflecting a similar trend observed in the NFL where they make up a vast majority of long-haired players. The nature of the sport, with players wearing helmets, helps manage practical concerns like hair-pulling during tackles, which are legal as hair is considered part of the uniform in the NFL.

139 My romcom idea:
Love interest protagonist #1 is a campaign consultant for a grifting scummy pol that's being groomed for big things.

The setup is nobody likes the pol and he could never win. Any money given to the pol by the party would just be wasted. But he's THE guy, very compromised, so the party has an idea. Stand up someone on the other side, make them crazy, and pour tons of money and advertising into their campaign. Everyone will pick scummy guy just so crazy doesn't win.

Love interest #2, childhood friend of #1, lost touch after high school. Can't stand her town. Hates living there.

#2 agrees to be the terrible candidate, but won't accept money. She just hates the town and has fun with gonzo terrible campaign events. Lots of funny hijinks. Turns out she actually loves her town and the people after she gets to know them.

In the meantime #1 and #2 fall in love.

Also the voters really start preferring the terrible crazy candidate #2.

Scummy pol tries to take her out but she's saved heroically by #1

In the finale, she wins the election, then #1 and #2 live happily ever after.

He went to three separate prominent democrats and told them if they came out publicly in support of him (this was the beginning of his campaign after winning the primary questionably) he would make that individual Secretary of State.

The individuals were Clinton, Kerry, and Bill Richardson...and neither of them knew that the other two had been made the same promise. Eventually, he won the election, and Clinton received the position. The other two found out via the news media.

This is cultural appropriation and should be shot on site, however, the gangsta style shooting prowess leads to more collateral damage then actually getting the target.

193 What I heard is that the mansion and lot were being sold as one parcel and the land was stripped out and sold to Rezko in order to reduce the price the Obamas paid. Most of the value was then in the land, which he did not develop, but "held" so the Obamas got the building for a greatly reduced price. (the land was worth more than the building, which is often the case for old properties in high value locations.)

Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at November 26, 2025 02:19 PM

The Property Deals: In June 2005, Obama and his wife Michelle purchased a $1.65 million house in the Kenwood neighborhood of Chicago. Simultaneously, Tony Rezko's wife, Rita Rezko, purchased the adjacent vacant lot for $625,000. The original sellers required both parcels to be sold at the same time.

Price Disparity: The sellers dropped the asking price for the house by $300,000 for the Obamas, while the lot price remained high, which critics suggested might indicate Rezko had done Obama a favor. Obama's campaign stated the house had been on the market for some time and the lot had another offer, justifying the price differences.

Land Strip Sale: Months later, the Obamas bought a 10-foot-wide strip of the adjacent lot from Mrs. Rezko for $104,500 to expand their yard, a price they maintained was fair market value.

Rezko's Financial Situation and Indictment: The controversy intensified because the land purchase by Mrs. Rezko occurred when Tony Rezko was deeply in debt and facing lawsuits from creditors.

🚨 BREAKING FROM D.C. - National Guard Members Shot Near the White House

I will be giving LIVE UPDATES.

Chaos erupted just steps from the White House this afternoon after multiple National Guard members were shot in downtown Washington, D.C. The scene immediately filled with law enforcement, emergency responders, and tactical units as police locked down several blocks surrounding 17th & I Street NW.

Then Michelle went on at that hospital to violate EMTALA Federal Law. I read (years ago, so no source) that she wanted to avoid the poors and downtrodden coming there by ambulance and would have them sent to other hospitals like Chicago General Hospital. To protect their stats for Joint Commission. I remain positive, until someone tells me otherwise, that this is why she lost her law license.

You NEVER divert ambulances unless the ED is full and there is no staff or room. Or the power is out, etc.

Busy here with prep for tomorrow's dinner. We are making traditional sides (well, traditional for Southern redneck that I brought to the table). I am famous for my Pecan Pie, so I am also making that.

I know that this is really hard to believe, but, there are actually Caucasian, Asian, and Latino women born with all types of hair including curly hair. Amazing!

Swimming - The reasons are many - adult blacks that don't know how to swim are double than the adult pop in general. Urban living with lack of access to pools and swim lessons, fear of water, etc. When I joined the Coast Guard and we started our indoor swimming trials in an Olympic size pool, there was a smaller, shallow pool next to it where black recruits who didn't know how to swim were giving swimming lessons first. They were mostly from the Southern rural areas or North Eastern cities. All races but blacks had to know how to swim to even be considered for enlistment in the CG.

Incredible: A Jury Voted Unanimously to Convict Yet Another Somali Fraudster, Calling His Guilt "Obvious."
Then the Leftwing Judge Set Aside Their Verdict and Set the Somali Free, Based On Her "Feelings."

The Somalis scammed the government's welfare programs again. The Somalis here ripped off the American citizens for $7.2 million, running a scam organization that supposedly delivered health care to poor people out of his mailbox, and spending that money on luxury goods and sports cars.

The prosecutors proved that 94% of the money they stole from the government went into their own pockets.

Jurors found him guilty, unanimously.


Then the "progressive" judge stepped in an invalidated the verdict, saying that in her personal opinion, the prosecutors had not disproven other possibilities besides fraud, like, I guess, the possibility that they accidentally stole this money and intended to deliver it to the poor at some future date. (Were they planning on returning their luxury goods and cars? How much did they expect to get back for used luxury goods?)

@amuse
@amuse

SUICIDAL EMPATHY: A Minnesota Democrat judge just overturned a unanimous jury verdict in a $7.2M Medicaid fraud case, freeing Islamic defendant Abdi Fatah Yusuf. Jurors say the evidence was overwhelming.

Despite a swift unanimous verdict, Judge Sarah S. West, a former public defender, acquitted Abdi Fatah Yusuf on all charges after jurors found he and his wife ran a fake home-health business out of a mailbox and stole $7.2M in Medicaid funds. Jurors say they are stunned because the evidence of fraud, overbilling and luxury spending was "obvious." Community pressure and political considerations are now being blamed for the decision. Yusuf walks free while taxpayers eat the loss.

Abdi will get to keep his new wardrobe from Coach, Canada Goose, Michael Kors, Third Degree Heat, Nike, and Nordstrom and his [new top-end sportscar,] a Porsche 911.

h/t @WallStreetApes

Suicidal empathy? Or personal enrichment?

This is outrageous -- and considering the *fact* that Somalia is the world's most corrupt country, we have to investigate this judge's finances and the finances of her friends and family for a payoff.

This is -- or was -- the nation's "biggest Medicaid fraud case."

The prosecutors are appealing the judge's corrupt negation of the law.


Meanwhile, it sure seems that a sizable fraction of the Somalis we allowed into this country view us as outsiders to their tribe, not deserving of the usual dignity and respect one affords to people within the tribe.

And I say that because they're committing crimes against native-born Americans as if they view us as an enemy tribe it's ethically permissible to rob and abuse.

Leftists meanwhile excuse the criminality as showing they're just cool capitalists who know how to abuse an easy mark.

Obviously white people would not be excused for preying on minorities, stealing from them, even raping them. You know this from the simple fact that anytime there is a Race Hoax, which there is once a month, the entire leftwing establishment goes crazy to say "This must not be normalized!"

Well, it's not normalized. It's the opposite of normalized. It's so rare, in fact, that racist agitators have to invent hate crimes against them.

The left has established that Racism -- Racial Superiority -- is the worst of all conceivable crimes.

Yet we have people coming into the western countries and treating the native populations as if they are sub-humans, fit for rape, robbery, and murder. Some of these Cultural Enrichers act as if they believe westerners are a prey species they have a divine right to predate upon.

And no one says boo. Because, of course, only white people or westerners can be Racist. Other people treating other races as if they are subhuman are just acting in accordance with Cultural Norms Which Must be Respected and also might just be getting some Justified Reparations from Colonizers (even though it's the migrants who are colonizing the west).

Do I get to say "This must not be normalized, racial hatred must be called out as evil and extirpated from the earth," or nah?

Nah, right?

Result? The same in all cases. The high-trust society rapidly disintegrates, and those who broke the social contract rise to dominance.

Sadly, a lot of this blame has to be laid at the feet of supposedly well meaning but financially strapped Churches across America. In Minnesota, it was mostly the Lutherans, but the Mormons have done this, and of course the Roman Catholic Church is guilty as well.
Here was the play - as populations aged, all of these church organizations found themselves more and more strapped for cash, but they discovered this marvelous government program that reimbursed them several times over for bringing "refugees" into America and resettling them. This quickly became a vast profit making operation across the US. In Somalia, the local Lutheran Churches "sponsored" thousands of Somali immigrants, and made millions of tax free dollars for doing it.

Meaning, if it must be spelled out, that this overrides all other laws, all institutions, all constitutions. For the simple reason that if the Public has no safety, then there is NO law, and very soon there will be no nation, as it collapses into chaos and civil war.

To put it another way - things we enjoy, such as civil liberties, are downstream from the safety needed to conduct our lives. Without the second, one can never have the first.

127 It's automatic that, prior to the case being sent to the jury, the defense makes a motion to dismiss, claiming the prosecution has failed to make its case. So this judge, Sarah West, had a perfect opportunity to throw the case out. Yet chose to send the case to the jury where they quickly found the perp guilty. So throwing out the verdict AFTER a jury verdict and AFTER over-ruling a motion to dismiss, it's clear this judge was either bribed, threatened or politically shamed into doing what she did. Judical corruption, not matter what.

Eyewitness testimony is damn near useless, but you're supposed to believe it's the sine qua non of the prosecutorial arts.

Circumstantial evidence is basically what *all* evidence is, but you're supposed to believe that it's automatically invalid without really knowing exactly what it even means.

Posted by: kallisto at November 26, 2025 01:24 PM (dCxaZ)


The problem is that the answer depends on so many variables such as your weight, your pace or time walked, the average slope of your walk. You can put it sample data into a calorie calculator and see how little activity 3 miles/day actually is when it comes to burning calories.

For example, 190#, 3 miles, 1 hour, flat ground burns about 350 calories, which is less than about two average snacks, and it is also about the difference in recommended caloric intake between sedentary 31-50 yo woman and active 31-50 yo woman (1,800 v 2,200) for just maintaining weight.

So, yeah, you're probably right to call BS, because if you really want to lose weight, it will take discipline to curb poor eating and/or dedication to a more vigorous exercise routine that burns more calories than that two snacks or that "splurge" sugary mocha.

140 So I guess Minnesomalia is now just like the UK, where they have decided to get rid of jury trials for most crimes.

How long before the Marxist left decides this should be the norm in the USA as well. Or just bypasses this and has their corrupt judges do it on their own like this Minnesomalia judge did.

The UK government, under Justice Secretary David Lammy, has proposed radical reforms to the criminal justice system in England and Wales. These changes would eliminate jury trials for the vast majority of serious criminal cases, reserving them only for the most grave offenses like murder, rape, and manslaughter. All other cases — such as assaults, burglaries, frauds, and sexual offenses not involving rape — would be decided by a single judge alone.

144 The specific legal reason this ruling needs to be overturned:
The Judge said that the Prosecution didn't consider "other explanations" for the Defendant's behavior, only presenting the case for illegality.
Except that's what the Prosecution's job is.
It is the Defense which is supposed to present other explanations, and try to make them sound plausible.
It is the Juries job to decide.
And the Judges only true job is to preside.

This Judge wrongfully characterized the Prosection's case, ignored the Defense, and inserted herself as a Jury of One in complete defiance of all law.

That waterhead mayor of Chicago Johnson was whining the other day after that Chicago can't end its crime problem by putting people in prison. Bukele answered by saying that is the entire point of prison and posted a graph that perfectly illustrates that when El Salvador started handing out stiff sentences to violent criminals the violent crime rate cratered.

The left tries to appease their minority base by being soft on crime. Not only doesn't it work for obvious reasons the biggest victims are other minorities. All that money the scumbag in MN stole was targeted for poor and largely minority people.

150 Found another case this Judge handled. Some guy with a list of felonies (Terrel Brown) in his history (we're talking over 10 previous felonies)....entered a bar with a gun and attempted to kill some guy. He failed, but was arrested on about 11 different charges, most felonies and put into the system. The first Judge (not West) ignored the severity and history and took the assigned five year term (which was low anyway)...and put him on a work release program and a half way house. To which he didn't show up.

West got the case when he was captured for violating his sentence and instead of tossing him in prison for the five year term. SHE, gave him the work release program again, and gave him time served for the period in which he didn't show up. This Judge is on a mission...

192 The combo of an idiotic electorate, corrupt election process, and the Legal Cult is a touch one to overcome.

The Cult still has a death-grip (term used advisedly) over 99.5% of all lawyers and judges and even "conservative" politicals, including the current administration. Simplified version: this cult is one that cannot even imagine repudiation of any court at any level for any unlawful or destructive action, regardless of consequences to national ssecurity, public safety, or the (remnants of) constitutional order.

My favorite was a district judge in the last few months who took and started ruling in an immigration case the kind of which he is expressly excluded from hearing by the Immigration Act, as amended. A simple - and scorching and vitriolic - letter from the DOJ excoriating the judge for violating the law, and informing him that his court would properly be ignored in this matter, was all that was needed. Instead, mewllng compliance.

Such an action would also give the pathetic SCOTUS its final chance to try and rescue some of the legitimacy of the system, by disciplining the inferior courts - its responsibility.

Females exist for the purpose of being semen receptacles. Anything else is unnatural. The "opinion" of the female on the matter is irrelevant, since she does not have a human soul, and thus can not have an opinion.

It is interesting to note that, around the mid-'70s, the Twin Cities (and Minnesota?) took in a large number of Hmong tribesfolk from Laos. They chose to assimilate, as they had worked with U.S. forces in S.E. Asia. I'd guess that having worked toward a common cause helped make that happen.

We do not have a common cause with the Somalis, and now we are reaping the fruits of that. When Ilhan Omar speaks of her obligation to Somalia despite being a representative for this country, could that absence of a common cause be any clearer?

After leaving private law practice and working in public service, Michelle Obama worked for the University of Chicago Medical Center starting in 2002, becoming Vice President for Community and External Affairs in 2005.

In this role, she helped create the "Urban Health Initiative," a program designed to help uninsured patients find community health centers for basic care, rather than using the emergency room. This was a patient redirection program, not an instance of the hospital "turning out" the who needed emergency care.

Really?

She was also on unpaid leave from her hospital vice president role during her husband's 2008 presidential campaign.

Axios: Your Turkey Has a Carbon Footprint and You Are Destroying the Environment by Celebrating Thanksgiving

Of course, of course.

You probably won't ponder your carbon footprint when you sit down to devour that Thanksgiving turkey -- but some food and climate activists say you should.

Why it matters: With climate change fading in importance on some U.S. lawmakers' priority lists, activists say even small steps from the public are needed.

The big picture: The beloved bird is considered more environmentally friendly than beef. But turkey still produces, in production and post-production, the greenhouse gas emissions responsible for global warming -- even more than chicken, according to the Environmental Working Group.

"Raising and processing a four-ounce turkey serving is the equivalent of nearly three miles' worth of tailpipe emissions," said Iris Myers, the group's senior communications manager.

A four ounce turkey?

Axios is a professionally edited media publication.

...

In 2016, Carnegie Mellon researchers calculated the state-by-state footprint of a typical feast, including roast turkey stuffed with sausage and apples, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie.

They found that meals prepared in Washington state and Vermont emitted the lowest amounts of carbon dioxide. Hydropower and wind provide about two-thirds of Washington's energy. while renewables provide almost all of Vermont's.

States that rely more on coal, such as Wyoming, West Virginia and Kentucky, had the highest Turkey Day emissions, the researchers found.

This is important research that I have been compelled to fund.

By the numbers: Thrown-away food is a big contributor to climate change. A new analysis by the anti-food waste group ReFED estimates that 320 million pounds of food will get tossed out this Thanksgiving.

That's the equivalent of more than 800,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide, or about the same as driving 190,000 gasoline-powered vehicles for a year, ReFED said.

Of those emissions, 4,800 metric tons of methane -- a potent greenhouse gas -- come from sending that food to landfills.

The bottom line: "Try not to buy more bird than you and your family will eat," Myers said.

Wellllll... generally I would say of course no one should buy and cook more food than they expect to eat, but Thanksgiving is an exception, because, of course, no one knows how many relatives and guests will show up. People make "too much food" because they don't want neighbors to show up without anything to offer them.

But most people will wind up eating most of that over the course of the week.

Thank you for ruining literally everything, Sanctimonious Sociopaths Satanic-Religious Fanatics.

Speaking of your carbon footprint: It is now cheaper to expand your carbon footprint than it's been since, well, Trump's first term.

Gas prices -- and food prices, and rent prices -- are at their lowest levels since covid shutdowns and Biden's printing of trillions of fake dollars.


Is everyone ready?

And is everyone here? Or are you already playing hooky?

I'm playing half-hooky. I wrote a bunch of posts last night and did a couple this morning so I'm kind of done for the day unless there's some breaking news. Knock wood!

Today's blogging won't be good. I aimed for "barely acceptable" and I nearly hit that mark. I figure most of you are tuned out, and the news is slow before and during holidays. (Again, knock wood.)


I have to run out to the store to get the holiday branded "Creamy Vanilla" Coke Zero. The store I tried to order from was out. I guess this is a new version of Vanilla Coke.

Question for you cooks: I have both an electronic thermometer and those little plastic pop-up turkey thermometers. Do those little plastic ones work well? If they're a couple of years old, do they still work?

Garsh I wouldn't want to produce even one excess CO2 molecule more than strictly necessary!

28 Re: Thermometers

The pop-up ones are useless and lead to an overcooked bird, and turkey is already difficult enough to make well.

Use your electronic one.

If you want to invest in a really good one, get a Thermapen One. Yes it's $90 but it's also the Ferrari of meat thermometers.

29 Self-willowed:

As I started approaching 29, I occasionally found myself indulging in the "If Only"s.

If only I'd done this, if only I'd done that...not that I hated my life or anything like that. I just felt I might've done better.

Then one night I suddenly realized, when I examined the whole idea thoroughly, that any of those changes giving me a "perfect" life, would mean that I wouldn't have the lovely and exciting Mrs naturalfake or the kiddos.

And no that would simply be intolerable. They are the best thing in my life and we as a family, despite our ups and downs, despite some hard times, have been very blessed by God.

And furthermore, I was being a huge dickweed to God by not acknowledging his complete generosity and being grateful for it. So, I decided that I needed to change the way I think.

I try to end every day thanking God for my life and my family I grew up in and my own family now, and for the day.

Anyway, these are the things in my life i'm most thankful for.

83 Re pop up. Ditto--they are unreliable. Electronic with a wireless probe are useful if you have already made sure that it works as to temperature consistency and wireless connectivity.

FWIW, Roasting pans with a cooking rack inside it are useful if cooking something large like a Turkey.

They tend to keep temperatures consistent and moisture in balance so the turkey does not dry out.

High fat content meat does not require it but the drippings from such are usually delicious and well worth using in gravy or other cooking as well.

As Jean-Luc Piccard said in the TNG episode "tapestry"- "My life had loose threads, and when I pulled at those loose threads it unraveled the tapestry of my life".

I used to think that all the time, I used to think about those threads. What if I never went into music, what if I just took over my father's business, or cut my hair and took that 75K a year job..in 1990, and on and on. It all pointed to the fact that I wouldn't be here in this form, unrecognizable. No Mrs B, different friends, different house...no, I'm exactly where I need to be.

174 Oh boy, a process engineering question! My time to, well not shine, but maybe give off a dim glow if you turn out the lights and squint.

The pop up ones are not as accurate, but they are better than nothing. Their true advantage is that they are placed (generally) at the right depth and that is more important than accuracy. The problem with the electronic ones is people poke them in too deep or too shallow or into the wrong part, or they don't give them time to react.

The plastic is FDA approved (our food sees a lot of plastic before it gets to the table. Many foods are cooked or pasteurized in plastic) and the mechanism is reliable, even when a few years old.

I use both.

It wasn't that busy, they guys were just slow as molasses and I still had an hour left over.

222 Kid made my crumble topping - she made enough for 2.5 of my sweet potato tins...so I used more than I would to top the potatoes and then still saved a bag of topping. Told her we'd just do a 2nd fruit-type crumble on Fri/Sat if we run out of a leftover side...I've got discounted Aldi's mixed fruit bags in my freezer that would make it a 5 minute prep.

Glad I kept overall quality control for cooking. She wants to do more to help Thanksgiving, but it's growing pains. Although better she made way too much than too little...

Plural Form of "Symposium"

The plural form of "symposium" is "symposia."
Alternative Plural Form

Another acceptable plural form is "symposiums."
Usage

Symposia is commonly used in academic and formal contexts.
Symposiums is also correct and can be used interchangeably in less formal settings.

Both forms refer to gatherings where experts discuss specific topics or present research.

Lastly, that "typical feast" isn't, at my house. Lamb, roast beast, no apples in my dressing, potato knishes, homemade corn bread, all kinds of veggies (no mushroom soup in anything!), and sometimes a bacon-wrapped turkey breast (because we just won't a whole turkey among 4 of us).

------

Two things, you gained some muscle, which weighs more than fat. Also, you may have mis-remembered your "before" weight. Because I know when I was training for a half-marathon that running anything more than 10 miles in a go would spike the calories burned to be the equivalent of living TWO days in a one day period. So if you were running and biking and swimming to the level of training that you would need to complete a Triathalon, I bet you didn't gain any weight.

You can go through a whole lifetime of just letting vanilla happen by not ordering something ritzier, but if you ever get served real full-strength specialty vanilla, it's a real eye-opener. Also?

380 357 It's really not that difficult to dress well for airline travel. Nobody expects black tie and tux, but don't show up in your pajama bottoms, with sandals and nasty, untrimmed toenails. It's common courtesy.

People wear pajama bottoms and houseshoes everywhere. I’m a headbanger and I don’t go around dressed to the nines either but good Shahinshah I wear a t-shirt and jeans that show recent signs of being washed and dried. It isn’t that hard.

In my store everyone makes it a race to the bottom to try and look like the biggest slobs and bums ever. The customers, that is. Who raised these people, wolves?

Saw a guy on facebook talking about not washing birds before cooking.

He put a ton of seasoning on it to simulate germs.
He sets it on top of and across a divided sink so the turkey is actually sitting above the sink. He then uses the strongest fine point stream spray possible to blow it everywhere.

My father was a guitar player in the 50's. He was from the same area as the four seasons and frankie valli, so they somewhat traveled in the same circles. Well, the guitar player at that time got sick, and they needed a replacement for upcoming shows. My father had met with the bass player to go through songs and get up to speed. The original guitar player had recovered and didn't have the longer term illness as they were expecting, so my father didn't need to fill in. My father stayed with his own band and met my mother right after. He would have never met my mother had he got that job.

Strongly disagree. They just don't understand the difference between intention and effect.

They wouldn't want to feel like they don't want people to experience joy, because that sounds like that would make them a bad person. So "Of course" they want joy! (Narcissism) They want to wear all words that sound like they're the better person.

I agree just as much as anybody that the left is about POWER. But that all has to do with the disagreement between intention and consequence. Once you wipe away the clouds of their "good" intent, you're left with the only aspect that contacts reality which is POWER to do their "good intents".

Eh, depends. You can touch it without issues. You can even swallow some without harming yourself. Just don't do it regularly. But if it's vaporized? It'll kill ya quick.

Again, it's about feasibility. It's vastly easier to equally distribute misery than wellbeing.

So, that's what ends up being done, especially because you have a bunch of people with academic models swirling in their heads about how the world "should be"--and how it's in their hands to chart a course to there.

Also reality, is human self-interest. Corruption happens in all sorts of Marx-themed systems. Even Xi wants to be rewarded per his "contribution", rather than just feed it into the system to get only what he needs.

456 Ignore the haters, Ace, I’m a fan of the Vanilla Coke (or in my case, Vanilla Coke Zero). I actually like adding a couple ounces of cold brew concentrate to it as a pick-me-up.

I’m a sucker for holiday Coke mixes too but this Creamy Vanilla holiday mix just tastes like a subpar Vanilla Coke to me. It’s better from the Coke Freestyle machine than it is in cans.

Thank you Ace for alerting us to these dangers. Without you most people would never be aware of these dangers.
Environmental Working Group also strongly acknowledges your strong anti vaccine support.
One of the biggest reasons Our Dear leader had the courage and foresight to choose Robert Kennedy Jr as his Secretary of A health was his strong anti vax position with which we are 100% on agreement.

At the lab in college we had an Americium alpha source for testing detection equipment. Alphas go a few cm in the air at best and can't penetrate your skin so the many dire warnings on the box it was in seemed too much. Once I said this to a labmate and told him the only way it could hit much is if you inhaled it. Next day the box had "Do not inhale" on it.

How long is a piece of string? Tell her to put the fork down. (Nicely!, not quite that blunt)

It takes hours to burn off a big spoonful of peanut butter. I lost 80 pounds doing much of nothing, other than ordinary stuff like mowing the lawn and reading AOS comments.

600 to 800 calories - fairly rapid weight loss. 900 to 1100 calories a day a moderate rate. Everything is else is bullshit. It won’t hurt, indeed it will help, but exercise is more or less a distraction from the process. There’s more bullshit out there about fat loss than anything. You can figure out why if you think about it a little bit.

Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving gives us an opportunity to reflect on the good in our lives. The day to day can be dull or even pretty lousy and there will always be particularly bad days and personal disasters. In bad years, many days be will be of this type. Thanksgiving is an opportunity to take a step back and consider our blessings, even when we might otherwise forget that we have them.

Blessings are manifold, despite the tribulations. Thanksgiving is a holiday rooted in tribulation, from the informal celebrations of often hard-pressed colonists in early New England to its relatively recent form first proclaimed during the depths of war in 1863. It wasn't formalized in law until just before WWII, but by then it was a formality (though it did, of course, provide much cause for disagreement in the particulars).

Some are alienated. Some are poor. Some are disabled. Some are depressed. Some are in pain. All of these and more are real, and can feel as if they define us. Stepping back, taking a breath, and counting blessings is important. While many things may be bad, not all things are bad, and Thanksgiving helps us to acknowledge that which is good.

So long as one is able to acknowledge and experience gratitude, Thanksgiving is all things to all men. It is serious and joyful. It is a solemn reflection as well as a lighthearted celebration. It is religious if you want it to be, or secular if that is your preference. Gratitude as such is worth celebrating, and Thanksgiving helps us recognize and celebrate it. Family, faith and the fact of life itself are all worthy of gratitude!

Whatever your situation this Thanksgiving, I fervently hope that you have the opportunity to consider that for which you are thankful, and that your have a joyous and hopeful holiday!

On the one hand we have Trump, head of the Republican party settle 8 conflicts around the world, cut inflation from 9% to 2.6% while real wages are rising, deep state being cut down to size (a bit), chucks out 2MM illegals thus far, cuts taxes for workin' folk.

And the Pedocrats are 5% ahead for the midterms. All while the Pedos have done nothing but run a color revolution and release their military auxiliaries.

Yup. People consciously don't trust the media. Trust in the media is at a historic low.

But that doesn't mean that the other side gets filled in just because when asked on a poll and you think of it you say you don't trust the media. The ubiquity of the legacy media plays a role, in generally getting people to believe something.

After all, the more you hear a statement the closer your brain comes to perceiving it as true. The brain is even more an organ of recognition than rigor.

True story;

Our daughter was in "Pop Warner" cheerleading many moons ago. We were living in CA at the time. Anyway, there were "championships" held over Thanksgiving weekend.

In Reno, NV.

At a casino.

Where we had Thanksgiving dinner. Served on plastic plates. No booze.

On the rare occasion I see/hear some MSM in TV it is like a window to another universe. Through The Looking Glass.

Oddly, while driving yesterday I caught an NPR piece on Obamacare and the massive rate increases coming. It went through all the reasons for them and to my surprise it was mostly fair and accurate. It almost caused me to crash I was stunned. Mysterious. Are Dems getting ready to throw it under the bus?

Smart enough. The news is always centered around conflict and bad things while the good news is often not covered or covered very incompletely. The media in general is the devil's plaything and it is no surprise that those in media demonstrate high levels of narcissism and sociopathy. As a profession, they rank right up with politicians for those personality types.

159 131 Well that's good news. The new prosecutor assigned to the rico case against Trump in Georgia just announced they are dropping all charges.
Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at November 26, 2025 11:31 AM (0N4FZ)

Finally! It should have been dropped when Fani Willis was disqualified, but the Georgia Supreme Court was too timid to go that far, instead asking that some other Prosecutor take it over. Everyone in Fani's office was barred from taking it, so they had to look to some other prosecutor's office in Georgia. EVERY Prosecutor in Georgia turned it down and refused to touch it, it was sucn an obvious stinkbomb. So the guy in charge of getting another Prosecutor to take that case said "ok I'll do it myself."
Which was ridiculous, he never had the resources or staff to even touch something like this.
So he finally wised up and bailed. And it's over.

I'm thankful for McCain, Romney, Paul Ryan and others for failing so hard they gave us Trump, who thankfully got Drudge, National Review, The Weekly Standard, and the rest of GOPe Inc to expose and destroy themselves lol.

Aside from personal family things, I am pretty Thankful Trump 2.0 seems to have learned a lot from his first term, and is taking immigration VERY seriously, despite the non-stop resistance. I'm also thankful SCOTUS has been much more willing to step in, shut down lower court overreach nonsense, and overturn bad legal precedents despite decades of prior allowance. May it continue into next term!

Georgia law when a prosecutor is removed from a case. Skadalakis had to take the case over in order to kill it as he could find no other GA prosecutor willing to take the case in order to dismiss it.

Most polls are garbage and yutes are the most changeable of all categories based on whatever they read last. Shitload of propaganda on TikTok and X have been dumped on the American population by foreigners and they ain't friendly to much of anything in the West.

I keep tabs on the alt right influencers and many of them have went toward outright anti Semitic fantasies and relied on the confluence between secular Jews in the West and leftism. Such is the stupid argument that Charlie Kirk was killed by Mossad because it could not be a troon boy lover shooting at short range.

So the whole religion of Judaism and Israel become the scapegoat of the West for idiotic decision made by their own politicians to strip their wealth, take their futures away, and bring in foreigners of every nasty disposition to displace them.

Not feeding them which is direct response to a particular troll. In my case, it is a general rule of thumb to ignore the troll but also debunk the stupidity for others that might be attracted by troll droppings.

Trolls are best thought of as a class of NPCs that only serve to disrupt, promote disinformation, and spread propaganda so as to dishearten, deceive, and promote ill will. And those that do it for pay are the worst of the worst-I have scraped dog turds off my shoes that were better than them.

231 I keep tabs on the alt right influencers and many of them have went toward outright anti Semitic fantasies and relied on the confluence between secular Jews in the West and leftism. Such is the stupid argument that Charlie Kirk was killed by Mossad because it could not be a troon boy lover shooting at short range."

Candace has changed her tune on Mossad killing Charlie Kirk - now she says it was elements of the French Foreign Legion. She tried saying it was Trump for a few days, but she decided her Jussie Smollett play might work better if she said it was The Dastardly French What Done It!

Why did they do it? Because Candace Owen is the Most Important Person in the Entire World, so the French Government killed Charlie Kirk to send Candace a Message.

Seriously, that's what she is saying these days.

Trump saying, "it's only an 11k difference, can you find those votes?" in a private conversation, where no one said or implied anyone act illegally, is worth multiple felony RICO charges.

But 6 Democrats in a nationwide ad, in a climate where the entire left is daily--and loudly--accusing Trump of issuing illegal orders, telling the military, "don't follow illegal orders" is no big deal ....

If only I'd done this, if only I'd done that...not that I hated my life or anything like that. I just felt I might've done better.

Then one night I suddenly realized, when I examined the whole idea thoroughly, that any of those changes giving me a "perfect" life, would mean that I wouldn't have the lovely and exciting Mrs naturalfake or the kiddos.

And no that would simply be intolerable. They are the best thing in my life and we as a family, despite our ups and downs, despite some hard times, have been very blessed by God.

And furthermore, I was being a huge dickweed to God by not acknowledging his complete generosity and being grateful for it. So, I decided that I needed to change the way I think.

I try to end every day thanking God for my life and my family I grew up in and my own family now, and for the day.

Anyway, these are the things in my life i'm most thankful for.

Mike, in regard to the need for a dining hall for the needy veterans, I asked the other night about maybe using a camp dining hall/cook shack made of portable units as found at oilfield and construction sites. Could that be done in Asheville, or maybe just outside city limits if the town is persnickety about "trailers"?

A very positive thought, but there were/are practicalities involved. When the event occured we were confronted with immediate realities and very real immediate needs. This was in hours, not days. Moreover, the only resources were those at hand. Mind you, no power, roads and bridges out, etc. The scale of it is hard to describe.

So, in that context, we soldiered through as well as possible Bear in mind that the VRQ is operated by a charity, and manned/managed by volunteers. It isn't as though The Government is going to step in to take over.

In the aftermath we have been working hard to recover, while still maintaining housing/feeding these guys. We have leveraged (if I can use that term) our influence with local, state, and Fed organizations for support, but that is a very slow process, and we have to focus (cont.)

297 (cont.) on today and tomorrow. Once we had managed to arrange immediate shelter and food, then we began to try for longer term arrangements. While it certainly would be nice to find someone who could provide the sort of facility that you suggest...not so easily found in a small county in W. NC.

That does not mean that we have not brought to bear such influence that we have on government people from here to D.C. But, remember that we are a charity, and not some government organization. While we have received some grants, those always have strings attached, and we have to be very careful in that regard.

As disturbing as I find it that these guys are eating in a tent in a parking lot, I am gratified that they are being safely housed and fed. That is philosophically unsatisfying but realistically practical. We have to divide our efforts/resources between the immediate, and the long term. It's a bit like triage, first, stop the bleeding.

78 The white chalk on the black board symbolises the repression BIPOC mathematicians experience on a daily basis, where their lived math experience is constantly attacked by a settler colonial intepretation of so-called "objective" reality, which seeks to marginalize the Other. Diverses mathematical interpretations are equally valid, and seeking to punish so-called "wrong" answers just serves to deepen the marginalization of these voices.

104 Read anything written about Johnny Von Neumann, there are many, many anecdotes about him that are interesting to read, many or most of them by others who weren’t exactly slouches when it comes to math & physics - Teller, Fermi, Alvarez, the whole crew of Los Alamos longhairs.

One time a crew of folks asked him about the best way of setting up a bank of computers to crunch a bunch of numbers for some wacked out theory of determining the properties of non-linear Hilbert space (I’m just making that up, you get the idea) and he asked what the problem was. They told him, and he went into his far off look, mumbling to himself. A few seconds later “That won’t work. Here’s the answer”. He did the calculations in his head.

108 That top number is two-forty-base-clef.

The teacher should have taken the time she added the slash to a well-formed seven to complete that nine.

109 I put a slash through my 7's and Z's (also possibly mistaken for 2"s), and a diagonal slash through my Zeros so they're not mistaken for the letter O.

112 95 Sevens don't need a slash.

If you have to unambiguate it from a one, you need to write your ones better. Not add a slash to a seven.
Posted by: Axeman
========
I've done both a slash to a 7 and a slash to denote zero instead of O. Useful if you are writing code on paper or writing a long series of numbers by hand.

Used to do it with tabulating election results and coding as I mentioned.

121 This is an effective painting. He captures the moment with the boy's posture and concentration, alone and without support. It's not panic, just trying to remember a new skill, in this case the multiplication tables. But the ragged clothes and short, institutional haircut adds some tension to the scene. I can't tell what medium was used. It looks to me like pastels. I looked at some of the artist's other paintings on his Wiki page and didn't care for them but this one is much better.

BTW, it took a few seconds for me to remember 7 times 9. Guess I'm out of practice.

Posted by: muldoon at November 26, 2025 09:40 AM (/iMjX)

-------------

[Per Etymonline (not to be confused with our online 'Ettes):]

aftermath (n.)

1520s, originally "a second crop of grass grown on the same land after the first had been harvested," from after + -math, which is from Old English mæð "a mowing, cutting of grass" (from PIE root *me- "to cut down grass or grain").

Other words for it were aftercrop (1560s), aftergrass (1680s), lattermath, fog. The figurative sense is by 1650s. Compare French regain "aftermath," from re- + Old French gain, gaain "grass which grows in mown meadows," from Frankish or some other Germanic source similar to Old High German weida "grass, pasture."

When the summer fields are mown,
When the birds are fledged and flown,
And the dry leaves strew the path;
With the falling of the snow,
With the cawing of the crow,
Once again the fields we mow
And gather in the aftermath.


[Longfellow, from "Aftermath"]

178 He's looking at his cheat sheet to decipher how to solve the problem using the new Common Core method.

the Common Core standards introduced in 2010, emphasizes conceptual understanding over rote memorization of procedures. This approach encourages students to break down multiplication problems into smaller, more manageable parts using visual and conceptual tools.

A common technique is the "box method" or area model, where numbers are decomposed into their place values (e.g., 35 becomes 30 and 5, and 12 becomes 10 and 2), and then multiplied in a grid format.

The partial products from each cell of the grid are then summed to find the final result. For example, multiplying 35 by 12 involves calculating 30×10=300, 30×2=60, 5×10=50, and 5×2=10, which are then added together to get 420.

Exactly. Resisting the left, who have this schedule of History of phases we have to go through.

Gentile and Mussolini had a discrete falling out because Gentile, the theorist of fascism, was much more progressive than Mussolini turned out to be. Their first rift was whether or not the Catholic Church should be involved. Mussolini reasoned that so many Italians were Catholic that it made sense to secure support from where you can.

Heuristic for a typology. Jerry Pournelle (later his two d matrix was used by Libertarians with their smallest political ideology test). Jerry back when he was a poli sci prof at Pepperdine, came up with two dimensions of economic and social differences in political ideology. Think it was published in a journal at the time but certainly he would discuss it throughout his life.

The Right in Euroland has a specific meaning rooted in history based on blood and history of a nation and usually included preservation of royalty and state religions when those were a thing. Less useful on the right in the US because of the whole royalty and state religion thing being dumped but often there is a related term of Heritage Americans aka descendants of the original English/Scots/Irish/German settlers versus immigrant latecomers in the 1850's and later.

Some argue for a creed based nation of ideals but that has the problem of defining exactly what the creed to be preserved contains.

Nowadays, at least in the US, it is easier to define the Right by what it is not--the Left.

Probably as the Macy's parade is finishing up - that's when the lunch tray goes out (and no one eats anything else til dinner with the tray).

Spouse picked Italian for the theme, so we have proscuitto (for me), speck, and salami with some roasted tomato mozzarella and 4 other cheese slice things (I don't eat it, so can't remember what they are), and some varied crackers (and now the bread, too). Then the pumpkin dip with apples, asian pears, pineapple, and clementines. I put out 2 trays (and take my meat from the pack, so I can just dairy up the one) - one the proteins and one the fruit and dips, and it works for 7...

I do try to spread the "cooking" and "eating" nice stuff all day, so kids get good food memories from dawn to dusk (and dessert is lightest b/c no one really wants it)...

Gramsci was a Communist (not fascist like Gentile) but argued the best way to rectify Marx's mistake. Marx proposed economic classes as the way to promote revolution; Gramsci argued post WWI where Commie revolutions largely failed including places like Germany that Marx assumed would be at the forefront, that in the industrialized West, a long march through institutions was necessary including social organizations.

Basically seize the heights of the socioeconomy of states rather than rely on a revolution by the proletariat.

Right, because on this side of the pond, we're anti-monarchal from the get-go. Hereditary rule doesn't even enter the question, once the union got going.

The "Right" of the French Revolution weren't even that traditional, they just reasoned that offspring--especially the very young--of the nobles don't need to be killed for having been born noble. For that they were called "counterrevolutionaries".

People really need to realize that the left becoming more extremely selective and violent is an illustratable historical pattern.

Posted by: Axeman

I think the violence comes from a loosely knit class of people that want to rule others but don't have the connections, money, or power to pull it off via those means.

So they rely on the crudest forms of control which is by violence. And then like starving dogs, they fight among themselves for scraps of power when they take over a state.

Only evil and/or corrupt people would want to rule over unwilling subjects by violence. Even most kings were constained by the idea of Christianity in the West. Commies have no such scruples because to them, common people are akin to potato chips. They can always make more (an error turns out but that is the way they feel).

Nominal measures of Left and Right that some activists believe can be calibrated into an ordinal measure similar to a number line where a theoretical zero would indicate a moderate and then each additional notch such as center left, left, far left and similar to that on the right.

I prefer *functional* analysis. There is no substance or function of "right".

Is it to put everything under the government or is it to decentralize government?

The first one is fascism, proper, and the second one is American conservative centrism.

The fascists don't tend to want a "200-year-old piece of paper" tell them what rules have to be followed, any rules and inhibit the state are detrimental to the interests of the state.

So what happens when you want a strong military? Well, then you're a "fascist", a "nationalist", even though the one national function you think we ought to have is one laid out in the "200-year-old piece of paper"
that still gets in the way of the "progress of the state".

363 Is this a thing? Because this dounds like a thing.

Without diving deep yet into the Hong Kong fire that's happening right now November 26, 2025, I have a couple thoughts.

1. Wrapping your building in flammable materials (bamboo scaffolding) for construction work in 2025 is a wild choice, especially in a high rise.

2. Wrapping multiple high rise buildings within feet of each other in flammable materials is an even worse choice.

3. Dried bamboo burns incredibly well as it is, but the addition of spacing for the scaffolding from floor to floor likely allowed for greater airflow allowing for a much more efficient burn and travel up the exterior of the building.

4. The death toll currently stands at 14 and I can almost guarantee that will rise, potentially by a lot. The hope here is fire crews in Hong Kong realized they were dealing with an exterior fire spreading up the building and had the capability and awareness to sound a general evacuation, especially of the other buildings before they ignited.

5. This could be Grenfell all over again. Except multiplied by 4.

380 It takes longer to type it up than to do it on paper, but the shortcut is (assuming that curly digit is a 9 - I recognize the European 7):

249 x 87 = (250 - 1) x (90 - 3),

Distinguishes it from a 1 with the little doohickey on top. And the doohickey distinguishes the 1 from a lower-case L. And a capital i has serifs so it doesn't look like a lower-case L

The Morning Report — 11/26/25

DsLeftNuts.jpg

Good morning kids. Yes, Trump Derangement Syndrome is a thing. But from Chi-Com run "police stations" in major American cities with Chinese immigrant communities, to Chinese intelligence assets everywhere from research labs to the Confucius Institutes on our campuses, to vast tracts of farmland and real estate bordering our military installations owned by the Chi-Coms, and to actual Chinese intel assets embedded in the administrations of local, state and even national governmental officials, dig a bit deeper into the story of several high level American politicians, all ex service members and some still in the reserves, creating a video essentially encouraging American military personnel to commit acts of insubordination and perhaps even insurrection and Treason by as they say "disobeying any illegal orders from the Commander-in-Chief, that being President Trump.

I have never served in the military, but from what I understand of training, every recruit, especially those who are in the officer corps whether coming up through the ranks or as graduates of our military academies, are thoroughly instructed as to what constitutes an "illegal order" and at the very least have the barest minimum of moral rectitude and conscience to know the difference between right and wrong in the context of carrying out their mission. And so in my estimation, we have propagandists and much worse, foreign-influenced agents provocateurs internally sowing dissent in the ranks and laying the groundwork for actual mutiny.

So, the despicable reprehensible behavior of Senator Mark Kelly almost comes as no shock:

On Monday, the Department of War announced that Kelly, a retired Navy captain, could be “recall[ed] to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures” because of his participation in what has now been dubbed the “Seditious Six” video. . . While Kelly’s participation in his party’s “Seditious Six” gambit is certainly egregious, it shouldn’t be considered surprising. For years, the Arizona Democrat has regularly undertaken actions that undermine America’s national security. . .

. . . the Arizona senator criticized the Trump Pentagon’s plans to investigate the retired general [Mark (vanilli) Milley]for reportedly telling his Chinese counterpart that the Trump-led U.S. had no intention of attacking China, and that he would “call [Beijing] ahead of time” if Trump were to launch such an offensive. Rather than condemn Milley’s purported actions, Kelly leapt to his defense. . . It’s almost fitting that Kelly’s apparent lack of concern over Milley’s reported actions involved America’s greatest geopolitical adversary, given the retired Navy captain’s extensive ties to entities connected to the Chinese Communist Party. . . As has been widely reported in recent years, prior to becoming a senator, Kelly co-founded the Arizona-based space tourism company World View in 2012. According to a 2020 report by RealClearPolitics’ Susan Crabtree, World View received investment funds in 2014 and 2016 from Tencent, a Chinese tech giant that owns (and reportedly monitors) the Chinese messaging app WeChat. (Tencent is also known for suspending streaming of NBA games in 2019 after a league general manager voiced support for the Hong Kong protestors.) . . .But Kelly’s role in World View is just the tip of the iceberg. In 2020, The Washington Free Beacon reported that the Arizona Democrat was an adviser to and “held a significant financial interest in a Colorado company that partnered with a Chinese state-financed tech giant to bring supersonic aerospace technology to China in 2018,


Just as surely as mythical Senator Pat Geary was owned by Don Emilio Barzini, Mark Kelly is likely owned by Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party. Period Full Stop. And as absolutely disastrous as it would be for one American politician especially at this level to essentially be an intelligence asset of our greatest foreign rival if not enemy (which they sure as hell are) the horrifying reality is that Kelly is not a one-off.

Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) has filed a federal civil lawsuit against President Donald J. Trump’s Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) director Bill Pulte, accusing him of violating privacy laws by accessing his confidential mortgage records. Swalwell claims these records were improperly used to refer him to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for an investigation into mortgage and tax fraud allegations.The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. Court for the District of Columbia, alleges that Pulte engaged in “unprecedented and unlawful” practices by obtaining mortgage records through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Swalwell, who recently announced his candidacy for Governor of California, stated that the disclosure of these records damaged his reputation at a critical political moment.Pulte has also referred other prominent Democrats, including Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA), New York Attorney General Letitia James (D), and Federal Reserve Board member Lisa Cook, to the DOJ for investigation. Schiff and James have denied wrongdoing, while Cook is challenging her removal from the Federal Reserve Board by the Trump administration in a case the Supreme Court will hear in January.

Swalwell is small potatoes, but he is illustrative of how far down the corruptibility of our politicians and others to foreign influence, in this case the Chi-Coms, goes. He was given the nickname of Yum-Yum by GOP Rep Troy Nehls for the former's intimate relationship with know Chinese spy Christine Fang. Currently: Eric Swalwell is a member of the House Committee on the Judiciary and the House Committee on Homeland Security. He also serves on the Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial and Administrative Law and the Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement. Yeah, shagging a Chi-Com spy is no big deal in this context, is it?!

But all that said, what would happen in the event that Red China attacked or attempted to invade and conquer Taiwan by force as they have been planning and itching to do since 1949 and for the past several years have been openly threatening and even planning vis a vis the acquisition of the military hardware necessary for a seaborne operation, as well as the weaponry to prevent a swift American naval response to block such a move.

If President Trump's command authority were undermined in advance by the actions of Kelly and his co-conspirators who have sown dissent and ultimately mutiny in the ranks, it would certainly give the Chi-COM PLA and Navy a strategic edge they might otherwise not have had.

Kelly deserves the wrong end of a rope as do all the others.

Have a good day.

17 6 million of the 12 million migrants have Individual tax numbers and work and pay taxes.

So 50% of illegal immigrants are taking jobs that could be filled by citizens, and the other 50% are just taking gummint money and benefits that would otherwise be spent on citizens. But it's all about the economy?

30 U.S. retail and restaurant sales edged up 0.2 percent in September from August. The modest gain came despite stubbornly high prices for groceries and housing. Economists say steady consumer spending is on track to push third-quarter economic growth to an annualized rate of three percent or higher, a notable acceleration from the 1.6 percent pace recorded in the first half of the year.

And with Inflation back under 3% this means people have real money to spend.

35 Kelly isn’t out of the woods and he knows it. He can put on the defiant face. But the fact is they can recall him to active status and run him through the process which would support at a minimum an Article 92 hearing. It’s more about the will and political capital than whether the process supports it.

Overall, what Democrats did is textbook color revolution stuff. The entire objective was to try and create disunity in the ranks, mutinous behavior and fear of prosecution for following lawful orders. It’s a disgrace that I have never seen across my years. It’s alarming not just in its hubris, but in its clear goal to subvert the CiNC and CoC. Democrats are not good people. They don’t have anyone’s interest in their hearts. Only their own thirst for power and dominion over the American people. Nobody should be fooled or mislead as to what’s going on here.

But wait, there's more!

"This individual is the mother of Karoline’s nephew and they have not spoken in many years,” the source said. "The child has lived full-time in New Hampshire with his father since he was born. He has never resided with his mother.”

77 The CIA was doing straight up crazy stuff since the 1950s. Surviving documents aren’t too flattering. A trove was discovered, misfiled in a financial documents section that escaped Richard Helms order to burn anything related to the really hinky stuff.

Anyway, one doc straight up said “It’s important nobody ever finds out about this, it’s illegal as hell, and we’d get in a lot of trouble”. Par for the course, apparently. The assumption, a very dangerous one, was too often, or is “Well these guys are patriots, I don’t really want to know what they are doing, but I’m sure they are doing good work”.

110 The “you can clock out early” message during the holidays seems relegated to small businesses now. I think the last time I got that was in the 90s. Now when your company is ran by a team spread across the globe under an executive and they know the name of every important committee senator’s spouse and kids but f-all about your nobody life, you’re not getting the message.

And few piddling managers at a big company would risk it. Risk getting audited by payroll and contract compliance.

Which I understand completely. That’s business.

So 50% of illegal immigrants are taking jobs that could be filled by citizens, and the other 50% are just taking gummint money and benefits that would otherwise be spent on citizens. But it's all about the economy?

Posted by: CrotchetyOldJarhead...Wearing Pants and Working at November 26, 2025 07:57 AM (luW6


There's way more than 12 million illegals in this country. Still... "50% of illegal immigrants are taking jobs that could be filled by citizens" means that those citizens are likely "just taking gummint money and benefits" so all 12 million mentioned have a negative impact on the country.

Further, this assumes that the six million who have jobs don't have families. They don't have kids driving up the cost of schools. They don't have wives, or perhaps girlfriends, who may be on benefits. They don't go to ERs. Pull the other one.

140 WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — Three members of the “DC-Nine” peaceful pro-life rescuers who were prosecuted by the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ), convicted of unprecedented grave charges in 2023, and pardoned by President Donald Trump in January of this year, have attested that a supposed surveillance video used against them in court was manipulated, perhaps by an AI technology, to provide a “deep-fake” revision misconstruing their behavior as violent.

“In the first five minutes I knew that they were using fake video coverage,” said rescuer Jean Marshall in an interview with LifeSiteNews. “I said, ‘I don’t have to watch anymore. What I am seeing did not happen.’”

210 We don’t lock our doors at night on the house because we hate other people, we lock our doors because we love our family.

The collectivists want to destroy the nation state, and I see this at the micro level too. They are very insistent about this. A self described group, a collective if you will, is not allowed to define itself.

Thus, the Boy Scouts (for example) must allow atheist kiddie-fvckers to become Scoutmasters, or you can’t use the public school gymnasium any longer. An after school Christian group must admit Satanists, because it would be “discrimination”, etc.

When a politician says “That’s not who we are” it begs the unasked question of whether we are allowed to decide what we are going to be. Of course the answer is always “No” but they leave that part out.

I think you are framing the question wrong. Every country on this planet wants to plunder the US of anything it can get. Israel is just better than all other nations - they get huge support from Evangelicals, so its not so much ideology that is the driving force, its just that "helping Israel" is a political bonus in that on the balance sheet it leverages the most Goodwill.

China, unfortunately, doesn't have that form of Goodwill, so it must leverage money and power as its motivator. Mark Kelly loves money and power and hating America has no political or social downside, so the choice is easy.

Kelly swims in an ocean of America hating, so in that he finds comfort and moral support when he sells the country down the river for generation wealth, he can sleep at night.

257 OT: Saw Wicked 2 last night with the fam (in which the 3 gents had not seen Wicked 1) - a lovely time at the theater, and the possible woke theming subplot of "taking back one's home" works really well for us right now, since we're the ones who started here...so I don't see it woke (in fact, it could be the opposite). Plus, beautiful spectacle (my spouse said he'd never watch it at home, but the spectacle was worth the price of admission). Totally family friendly for all - if you need a movie this Thanksgiving. All of us gave it between B=/A- (and the spouse NEVER grades family movies that high). No need to watch the 1st - just know the good witch isn't all good, the evil witch isn't bad, and they are friends, and you're good...

Before I go - Bulg, you asked me about my new novel.

William Taylor was at least bisexual, as he had a wife and daughter (whom he abandoned), but was also having an affair with set designer George Hopkins.

The most generally accepted theory for his murder is that he was shot by Charlotte Shelby, mother of actress Mary Miles Minter, out of insane jealousy. The actress Mabel Normand is sometimes put forward as a possible suspect, as well.

Several years back, the author William Mann, in his book Tinseltown, offered the theory that Taylor's death was a blackmailing attempt gone wrong.

My book has a theory I have never seen. I don't know how people will take it.

And now I am out.

284 I was really hopeful Kelly was going to be Kamala's VP pick, and while I love Tim Walz I was disappointed he wasn't.

Wouldn't have unrigged the voting machines. Look up Smart elections lawsuit in NY. Shit is fishy 🤔

Mark Kelly is like the quintessential American hero. The OG Iron Man. Absolutely insane for MAGA to attack him. Shows their true colors, though.

Insane? Sure. Surprising? No. Remember when Trump made fun of McCain for being a POW? “He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured.”

Mark Kelly is everything Hegshit wishes he was. I’ve been saying that Hegshit chose the wrong family to fuck with.

Mark Kelly for president! Nothing makes Trump look more pathetic than trying to take shots at an actual American hero. Not a single person I can think of more intelligent and more qualified to be the commander in chief.

Trump and his cult of slow adults know Kelly is an American treasure that also happens to be a top-tier contender for the presidency. He’s a genuine threat to their corrupt administration.

285 They are enemies of the state and it's high time we all stop seeing them as anything other than that.

The Fourth Estate is the Fifth Column. Journalism attracts the romantics that Want To Make A Difference. Building things up takes effort and swimming against the tide of sloth, selfishness, corruption and greed. Tearing things down is easy and it counts as "making a difference". So the lizard brain function is being satisfied with minimal effort.

Journalism is also not associated in any way with wealth generation. Its just a food pellet in exchange for n articles provided each week. This explains why scraping X and then adding a bunch of eyewash has been the usual tactic in satisfying the quid pro quo.

You also need to generate clicks - which means nearly all articles need to be rage-bait so that highly emotional nit-wits will "share" your article into a career boosting "viral article" based on views and "engagement".

So the formula for success is to plug-in to the zeitgeist, lie until the desire rage temperature is reached and then unleash onto the world.

Then she said how much she preferred cutting guy's hair to womens because we all usually got the same exact thing that we have been getting for 20 years. The only variation we might want is for it to be shorter.

Because if they don't, they'll never take the House again.
And without the House, they have no chance at the Presidency.

SCOTUS is likely to rule against minority-majority districts, against post-election ballot counting, and allow gerrymandering (except with clear, present and overt racist motives).
There's also a decent chance they end birthright citizenship.
And if they end mail-in ballots for all?

That's just the courts: Whoever wins 2028, controls the 2030 Census.
And whoever controls the Census, sets their party with a massive EC (and House) advantage for the next decade.
And sets the entire SCOTUS for decades ...

313 Setting aside everything else, just from a legal standpoint, I'm not sure what *could* constitute an illegal order from the President himself, besides an order that's a direct, black-letter Constitutional violation.

For example, I would think an order from the President to disarm law-abiding citizens would be an illegal order.

But there's nothing I can think of that would pertain to foreigners. If the President changed ROE in War XYZ and said "now, the orders are to liquidate the entire population of Sri Lanka," that would certainly be bad, but I can't see how it would be legal to defy him on it.

I taught cohorts of Chinese students for graduate study in administrative law for several years early in my academic career.

They had a intel minder in every class and you could tell because they were the most lazy of students that relied on others to do their work for them from fear.

One of the bravest Chinese that I had in my class was a defense attorney from China who was seeking our university's MPA to work in the judicial system. Chilling tales to my undergrads about how 'justice' worked in the PRC. At the time, I was teaching Comparative Law.

In part, "Donald Trump, serving as the 45th president of the United States, was impeached for the first time on December 18, 2019. On that date, the House of Representatives adopted two articles of impeachment against Trump: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

Trump's first impeachment took place after a formal House inquiry found that he had solicited foreign interference in the 2020 U.S. presidential election to help his re-election

Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at November 26, 2025 10:09 AM (NFX2v)

373 bid, and had then obstructed the inquiry itself by telling his administration officials to ignore subpoenas for documents and testimony. The inquiry reported that Trump withheld military aid[a] and an invitation to the White House from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy in order to influence Ukraine to announce an investigation into Trump's political opponent Joe Biden, and to promote a discredited conspiracy theory that Ukraine–⁠not Russia–⁠was behind interference in the 2016 presidential election.[4][5] Wikipedia; much more followed. (Needed a quick, concise "source." Get over it.)

Do they need to speed another round of impeachment up? What's a big deal in 2026? The semiquincentennial – or 250th anniversary – of the signing of the Declaration of Independence! (Which some call it "America's birthday" for some reason.)

380 Despite Challenges, MAGA Persists (For Now)

Does it persist? Or is MAGA only persisting because Donald Trump is President?

Is there a MAGA movement of any consequence outside of President Trump's leadership? Would the people in the MAGA movement be MAGA if they were not following orders from President Trump? Or are they just riding his coattails because that is the popular thing to do now and waiting until he is gone to revert back to their less-than-MAGA ways like what happened after the stolen 2020 election?

Charlie Kirk was supposedly the leader of the MAGA movement for Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha. Is there anyone else who is supposedly as popular and influential as him?

Who are the MAGA leaders making a difference on their own in institutions and companies and government? And do they have popular support across the country like President Trump does?

Is there a Discover the Networks worthy network of groups and institutions for MAGA as there has been for decades for the Marxist Left?

The midterms will tell a lot regarding whether MAGA is a movement or MAGA is just President Trump's base that will splinter and die like the TEA Party.

381 Report: Hegseth Wants Military to Cut Ties with Scouts Over Gender Ideology, DEI Policies

The Marxist Left destroys the Boy Scouts of America and turns the Girls Scouts completely woke and liberal. And instead of trying to get them both back to what they were, they are just abandoned to the Left.


Brilliant. Seems to be the strategy for the right for everything the left infects and takes over. Just let them have it. Let the Marxist left take over and destroy every American institution. Scouts, entertainment, sports, you name it.

Now it's the same with areas in America. Marxist leftists and Muslims and Third World savages taking over cities and states and the reaction is "fuck 'em, let those places die".

Funny way of "making America great again" by letting all the past American institutions be taken over by the Left and destroyed.

383 The butt scouts of amercia is no longer what older folks remember from years gone by. It is a refuge for pederasts and homosexuals to prey upon unsuspecting boys and their parents. I believe there is another boys scouting group out there that is faith based and seeks to avoid all the DEI/Nambla crowd.

384 Clyde, Scouting got taken over by the pedo loving left because pedos were loving on the BOY scouts and were rightfully criminally prosecuted. Hopefully the current pedo loving leftists that run the Boy Scouts integrated are behaving themselves.

385 We've slowed the acceleration toward total social degradation but we are not "winning." It can feel like that sometimes, but it's a relative and transitory feeling. The fact is, the Left is far more crazed, committed and powerful and we have not shown the same crazed commitment to take on their power. We're still under the delusion that all this can be sorted out through conventional, traditional political means and locutions.

The fatal realization will hit us at some point, hopefully before it's too late.

Well said.

A few battles may have been won over the past year, but we are still badly losing the overall war with the Marxist Left and the foreign invaders (Muslims, Indians, Somalians, etc.).

The Marxist left and Muslims already won the initial war for the country and took it over through the Long March Through the Institutions. They control every institution in the country. Yes, President Trump won the Presidential election, but the Deep State is still deeply embedded within every area of the federal government.

Add to that the total control of media, social media (save for X), entertainment industry, sports, corporations, schools, universities and overall culture and this is a war where it will take years / decades of winning battles before anyone can say we are "winning" the war to take back the country.

Not to mention, the massive national debt that is a ticking time bomb. And there's been nothing done to even try to diffuse that, only things done to make the bomb even bigger. That's not a long-term "winning" strategy.

I agree on that. However, ironically, it was probably federal government policies that contributed to destroying the Boy Scouts of America in the first place. The homosexual movement of the 2000s (and then later the LGBTQ+ movement) used the government to push all their policies and get their agenda pushed into society.

Started with the SCOTUS decision in 2002 Lawrence v Texas.

A similar SCOTUS decision in 2020 helped push the "gender identity" and "transgender" nonsense into society, Bostic v Clayton County, which made "gender identity" a protected class akin to sex, religion, etc.

389 911 dispatchers tell New Yorkers to call "Quality of Life" hotline as feral mob burns cars, beats up homeowners

Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Why Do the Heathen Rage? at November 26, 2025 09:13 AM

On November 24, 2025, a chaotic "street takeover" event in the affluent Malba neighborhood of Queens, New York, escalated into violence and arson. What began as an unauthorized car meetup involving dozens of vehicles performing stunts like donuts and burnouts turned into a "Mad Max hellscape," as described by local officials. A mob of masked individuals — described by witnesses as teens and young adults — took over several blocks, blocking streets, and confronting residents who tried to intervene.

Key events included:
Assaults on homeowners, Vehicle arson, Broader disruption.

As the violence unfolded, dozens of Malba residents flooded 911 with calls reporting assaults, threats, and the fire. However, multiple callers were reportedly told by dispatchers to contact the city's non-emergency 311 hotline or the NYPD's "Quality of Life" team...

That’s how they got Gov. Cartel Katie and Sen. Ruben “Cartel Mouthpiece” Gallegos (both seats actually won by Kari Lake). They own Sen. Marko Kelly, too.

The “illegal orders” they want mutiny for are the ones attacking the Cartels as terrorists and sinking Admiral Escobar’s navy.

That’s what this is all about.

37 I like this WEST streaming channel that Dish has, I usually keep it on as background noise when I'm working in the mornings.

Only problem is that WEST, being brand new and a streaming channel doesn't have a big advertiser pool to work with yet so they're stuck with more than half of their commercials being Ad Council PSAs.

I've seen the "Head in the Cloud" anti-vape warning ad for parents. They usually play that 2 or 3 times in a row, followed by the other ad where dad is trying to talk to his teenage daughter about vaping and the only way he can get her attention is to do a TikTok dance fad while she tells him "You're doing it wrong" before she shows him how to dance the dance in front of an oval light and a camera.

Not to mention the "Asian Hate" PSA where the kinda cute Korean gal who owns a cab company, somewhere in CA I'm guessing, decided to give Asians free rides in her cabs so they don't have to walk and get harassed on the street.

Followed up by the PSA where they have asinger singing about "Walk a mile in my shoes" in old Gospel style.

I've seen every one of those 200 times in the last month at least. I can recite the actors lines before they do.

Someone on Althouse (yes, I know) suggested the bastard be brought back to active duty, assigned to Gitmo and tasked with cleaning latrines with a toothbrush. Then, every other day, bust him in rank for not doing it properly until you get him down to private, and then make him retire on a private's salary.

But, as many wiser than I have predicted, all that will happen is that he'll get a slap on the wrist, a "naughty, naughty!" wink and told to be more careful next time. Because, if you think the same FBI that persecuted Catholics and stood with their thumbs up their asses while Trump survived Butler is actually going to do anything, then I would like to sell you some Arizona Beachfront property.

64 How can you print meat?

The most common approach involves using bio-ink composed of cultured animal cells, which are grown from stem cells isolated from a tissue sample and then multiplied to form a cellular mass. This bio-ink is loaded into a 3D printer, which deposits the material through a nozzle following instructions from computer-aided design (CAD) software to replicate the desired meat structure, such as a steak. After printing, the structure is typically placed in an incubator to allow the cells to differentiate into muscle and fat cells, forming tissue similar to real meat.

Food printing hasn't hit mainstream yet, but it's coming, along with printing pharmaceuticals and eventually biological material.

It works the same way a 3D printer works.
You start with different protein & fat packs, and the printer will print out the meat like a 3D printer does, layer by layer on top of each other.

They've already printed out chicken, steaks and hamburgers.
But the flavor hasn't been perfected yet and doesn't taste real.

Once they get over that hurdle we'll start seeing 3D printed meats if the governments of the world allow it.

This should take you back: when most cuts of meat were still sold as a hunk, they were all stamped "Grade A" or "prime," in blue ink. It was grape juice. Haven't seen it in this millennium.

106 Odd dream last night . . . I was aboard a research vessel heading down past Australia and New Zealand. I'm not sure what the destination was -- Antarctica? The boat was not huge but not the S.S. Minnow either. At first I was a passenger below decks. Then I was up in the cabin, detailed to record the trip with a video camera.

The most vivid parts were as we churned through rough, literally black seas (though it was daylight and not even raining, just overcast), steering around red-black outcrops of stone that jutted out of the ocean. Then we made port somewhere in southern New Zealand (I was told): a dreary and rainy town where half the people we saw were old, feeble, and gray. "The blocks get longer after here," the captain said.

We discovered while there that one of our passengers had planted huge bombs in the cargo hold designed to blow us up. As the captain was ordering them removed and defused, I woke up.

Thanks, G & R. That cat just started this. He needs some calming chews before I go to bed. But I don't believe in drugging cats for my own convenience, even if it is just the same melatonin I use myself.

Little Dagny was nowhere near any of these bombing runs -- not even on the bed, or if she was, she bolted after Stirling's first flyby.

They've turned the term "sexual assault" into a complete joke due to overuse.

Yes, lady, the half-naked guy sleeping on his own couch, probably drunk out of his mind, was a real asshole for leaving the door open, but it doesn't qualify as sexual assault in any sense of the term.

"Assault on your eyes": most definitely.
"Rape": not in a million years, sweetheart.

You screwed up and now you're just making excuses and trying to get some sympathy clicks to your GoFundMe.

157 also:

Attorney here, charging the trespass is a waste of time considering there's two dead to rights felony charges already on the table. She's a Doordasher, all it takes is her attorney going "she didn't read the leave it at the door part it was a mistake" and its suddenly an issue that would have be decided at trial. She's so incredibly, overwhelmingly, screwed on the unlawful surveillance charges any defense attorney will tell her to take a deal for a lesser sentence and be done with it.

Even with her being window licking levels of stupid her screaming assault will turn a case into a media circus, and getting a quick guilty plea to end it is definitely the way to go.

In 3rd or 4th grade me and a buddy (now a school district administrator) mouthed off to a lunch lady, he said something like "Make it snappy, Porkchops" and all I remember is him rising up in the air like a rocket because she had grabbed him by the collar and lifted him straight up out of the line and into oblivion.

It's almost Thanksgiving. Get yourself home any way you can!

The Tuesday night ONT is here. So glad you could make it.

How are your Thanksgiving planning and prepping efforts going? Doing anything unusual this year? Trying any new recipes? Expecting any nefarious guests? Tell us all about it!

You Don't See This Every Day

Motorist in North Carolina tells 911: ‘I just had a bald eagle drop a cat through my windshield’

doof-cat-windshield.jpg

A motorist in western North Carolina escaped injury when the carcass of a cat crashed into the passenger side of her front windshield along a highway near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

In a call to 911, the unidentified driver on U.S. Route 74 in Swain County, near Bryson City, told a dispatcher that a bald eagle dropped the cat. Bryson City is about 65 miles (104 kilometers) southwest of Asheville.

It’s not clear if the feline slipped from the eagle’s talons Wednesday morning or was discarded simply because the big bird didn’t have a taste for it.

“You may not believe me, but I just had a bald eagle drop a cat through my windshield,” the incredulous driver said on the recorded 911 call. “It absolutely shattered my windshield.”

Check out the whole thing. I wonder if this falls into the "we've seen a thing or two" bucket that one insurance company always mentions.

Who Among You Has a Vanvera?

Come on, fess up. One of you has a 17th century fart catcher in your possession.

doof-vanvera.jpg

The vanvera was a strange accessory worn primarily by female aristocrats that allowed them to discreetly pass gas during social events.

The origins and history of the vanvera are shrouded in mystery; some sources claim it can be traced back to ancient Egypt, while others that it was inspired by Roman creativity, but there is no real evidence that this gas-muffling invention has its roots in ancient history. What everyone seems to agree on is that the vanvera was used by the aristocracy of that era, primarily women who could easily conceal it under their large, elaborate dresses.

The vanvera on display at the Sex Machines Museum in Prague consists of a leather pouch that connects to the wearer’s behind, muffling farts and containing the foul-smelling gases during social events. It can then be emptied in private by squeezing the pouch.

Guys would totally use this differently. "Dude, you shoulda smelled this one I ripped last night. Oh wait, I got it here in my vanvera - check it out!" {pooooofffff}

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.

Sounds awesome! Elder son of mine and I did something similar a few years ago. First Thanksgiving without the lovely late Mrs. Doof. Younger son was overseas doing his gap year thing. The 2 of us traveled to Lexington for several days. Did some stops on the Bourbon Trail. Went to the UK vs Louisville game. We made Thanksgiving dinner before we left MD and heated it up in the hotel. Watched hockey and college football and basketball, played cards, and drank bourbon. Was a fantastic time!

81 I only hitchhiked once. It was when I worked in Yellowstone, and was transferring from Canyon Village to Lake Hotel after Canyon closed for the season. I was five miles down the road, heading to the Hayden valley where all the buffalo hang out. Finally I got a ride. Turns out it was a line cook who was also heading to Lake Hotel.

I never hitched again. And now that I think about it, why did my luggage get delivered but I didn't? The hell?

82 "Please tell me they only cook what they shoot themselves."

Shoot? No, they just need a rabbit stick ... throw it and knock the rabbit out (or kill it outright). I've actually tried that briefly, and came close a few times. Just a solid ~1' x 2" solid stick ... thrown hard at a rabbit, it would stop them. Or maybe that is some Indian trick, idk where I learned it. Maybe in my brief "Tracker School".

Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. at November 25, 2025 10:20 PM (pkeXY)


In the early 90s. I was driving to work late night, stopping at an intersection, and this chick suddenly comes up and asks for a ride home. My back seat was full of camping gear from the weekend that I hadn't cleared out. She asked what that stuff was in a quiet, "are you an axe murderer voice". Oh, that's just camping stuff, so where am I taking you, I got 10min to get to work. She told me and I dropped her off at a house then sped to work.

I think about her occasionally. I hope she makes better decisions.

130 SNL had 3 peaks, each a little bit lower. First of course was the original cast - Akroyd, Belushi, Bill Murray, Jane Curtain, Chevy Chase - Buck Henry was one of the writers and they could make you laugh til you had tears in your eyes every week. That wave faded out, it went flat .
But in ‘84 it built to a second peak with Jon Lovitz, Phil Hartman, Victoria Principal, Dana Carvey and others - a few more wonderful seasons til it faded again.
And the final high was the David Spade - Chris Farley - Norm McDonald era. After that, which was in the 90’s, it was never worth watching again.

132 ** NOT A PAID SEASONAL ADVERTISEMENT **

If you have someone for whom it it is difficult to shop -- and they like coffee, I'd like to suggest getting them an order from Porto Rico Importing (note the spelling). If they grind their own beans, even better. They have the freshest beans around. The place moves coffee beans. The store has been in business since 1907, for whatever that's worth.

I'd go for pound sampler packs: A blend, a country and a flavor. The flavor's easy, hazelnut; it tastes great both hot and cold. For the blend I'd go with Peter's Blend. A darker roast, full-bodied yet not bitter; a good cup of coffee. I've tried some of their other blends but this one's the best. For the country, go with the Costa Rican. A medium roast, full-bodied coffee with an interesting flavor profile. (I didn't like the flavor profiles of the African coffee beans I've tried and I've only had Hawaiian Kona from the 'Asia and the Pacific' section.) You could add their New Orleans blend, as they have a good recipe using chicory; when you drink a cup, you're transported to Cafe du Monde in The Quarter. A Columbian bean is always a solid choice.

1/2

Posted by: RickZ at November 25, 2025 10:49 PM (gKDq2)

133 2/2

Or, if you really, really love that person, you can give them Hawaiian Kona @ $74/lb. (absolutely delicious, a nutty coffee with a chocolate undertone) or Jamaican Blue Mountain @ $106/lb (never had it but from all reports it's supposed to be The Nectar of the Gods coffee-wise).

They will grind beans to your request, course, fine, etc., though I never do that as I get whole beans.

Free shipping anytime on orders over $75.

134 Evening, folken. It's been a strange day.

I remember the sequential blinker lights on the mid-'60s Thunderbirds. Though I'd forgotten that the Cougar, Mercury's answer to the T-Bird, had them too. Didn't some other car companies offer them a little later?

Earlier this year we saw a Cougar, well-restored, outside a coffee shop/bakery in a suburban town near us. I knew what it was immediately, though I hadn't seen one since the late '90s in Denver. Black, with a red interior, it was amazing in its proportions and styling. The hood and trunk each seemed twice as long as a mid-size car today, and the vehicle was low to the ground -- though it hadn't been lowered as far as I know.

The owner said it was the first year, the 1967. Not the XR-7 model, the "sporty" one with the toggle switches on the dash like the Jaguar E-Type of those days.

144 130 SNL had 3 peaks, each a little bit lower. First of course was the original cast - Akroyd, Belushi, Bill Murray, Jane Curtain, Chevy Chase - Buck Henry was one of the writers and they could make you laugh til you had tears in your eyes every week. That wave faded out, it went flat .

Posted by: Tom Servo at November 25, 2025 10:48 PM (ngbZu)

Murray wasn't part of the "original" cast-- he was a writer season one and came on in season two after Chevy Chase left to make movies. (Foul Play, not exactly a comedy classic.) They got into a fight when Chase returned as a guess host.

But I concede that Murray is considered part of original glory days.

171 The only hitchhiking I did was during the annual Yellowstone river boat float. A three day float from Livingston to Laurel with about 200+ rafts, boats, pontoon boats as company.

People shuttled up and down the river to go back upstream or downstream pick up their cars and then drive them to the next stopping point. So people with cars at a location would pick up obvious hitchhiking float people and take them to their cars.

218 Shoot? No, they just need a rabbit stick ... throw it and knock the rabbit out (or kill it outright). I've actually tried that briefly, and came close a few times. Just a solid ~1' x 2" solid stick ... thrown hard at a rabbit, it would stop them. Or maybe that is some Indian trick, idk where I learned it. Maybe in my brief "Tracker School".

Posted by: illiniwek at November 25, 2025 10:28 PM


My grandfather hunted rabbits by that method (ball peen hammer) when he was a youth during the Depression.

He said he got one out of about every three throws. He said a hit only stunned the rabbits, so you had to run up and throttle them before they re-gathered their wits.

I have eaten rabbit stew and squirrel pot pie at his house when I was a youth. However, he could afford .22lr ammo by that time!

245 Greetings Hordlings from your Old China Hand, Publius Redux. Was up early this AM here in Singapore, and saw that somehow you guys had all p*ssed of Ace, forcing him to punish us with the insane scribblings of non-entity, attention-whore, mentally-imbalanced and talent-lacking Olivia Nuzzi. Why? What did you guys do? Kick Ace's dog? Sleep with his girlfriend, I mean, wth? On a serious note, why does this idiot Nuzzi even get any attention by anyone? Because she "almost" had an affair with RFKJr? I believe we have another way to say "almost had an affair" and I believe that other way is "didn't" - as in "Nuzzi didn't have an affair with RFK Jr." No, sending someone insane, bunny-boiler, stalker texts does not count as "having an affair." Also - slight point of order from the other day - I believe the Ace stye guide would dictate that instead of "James Carville's less attractive testicle," you should instead say "James Carville's LEAST attractive testicle."

248 No clue whats going on for thanksgiving. I'm supposed to go to my brothers. His inlaws, AKA "the wax museum" who are way into their 90's and biden loving pricks may or may not be there. Getting them out of the car, and then into the car is like prepping the Apollo astronauts for launch, because they drive and are content to be a road disaster in the making. My inlaws are probably going to Mrs B's sister's house. My MIL, AKA "the ham fairy" switched it up this year and blew off the ham and i her infinite wisdom decided to get a 25 pound turkey.... for 5 people. I'm sensing a turkey fairy in my future. Mrs B's sister got her hand operated on today, so I'm sure she'll appreciate the ease of hauling around a 25 pound turkey. Sooo, the decision is do we go there so Mrs B can help her sister since her parents aren't strong enough to lift the fart bag shown above, and we come home with a trunk load of turkey, or go to my brothers and watch the wax museum face plant into their dinner plate when they fall asleep in the middle of a sentence.

254 The sequential taillight mechanism reminded me of how 1980's Volvo's 'lamp out' module worked. It was essentially a round red plastic canister about three inches high by maybe one and one-half inches diameter with about 13 plug pins on the bottom.

Inside were three boards with small reed switches corresponding to various outside lights. Each reed switch corresponded to a set of lights - headlights, taillights, etc. Wrapped around each reed switch were the wires corresponding to the left and right bulbs of each set of lights. As long as both bulbs were lit, the magnetic field from each wire cancelled out and the switch stayed in the neutral 'off' position. If a bulb was out, no current would flow in the corresponding wire, and the magnetic field from the other wire pulled the switch to a closed position and illuminated a 'bulb out' lamp on the dash.

Gabich?

He worked graveyard shift; hubby & I worked days... so the compromise was that "dinner" would be at 10pm to accommodate his schedule. (we usually had the next day off, so it wasn't a problem to stay up late)

Last couple of holidays, he accepted the invitations but NO SHOW. Didn't even call to cancel! I called him: ugh, still asleep... call back in an hour? Ok. An hour later: ugh, too tired...

Fk it. If he can't be arsed to drive 2 minutes, forget it. I'm DONE cooking a whole holiday meal for 3 people. Now, it's just me. Pfft. Cheeseburger!!!!!

297 I make:

French fried onion rings, freshly fried.
Green beans trimmed cooked in chicken broth with bacon grease
Drain and sprinkle with bacon, cheddar cheese, and the onion rings.

It is awfully good that way, and none of that crappy mushy soup stuff.

Nice. I would save that chicken broth and maybe cook up some collard greens with it. Amish store here had huge bins of collard and mustard greens today. Must be a popular Thanksgiving side around these parts...

301 I cooked a pile of bacon today, for prep. Seems like the more turkey I cook, the more bacon I end up needing.

Plus the added joy of inviting a "gluten-intolerant" drama queen, so I have to make special stuffing with that weird gluten-free bread.

Lots on the menu, because we have 11 coming. Big-ass turkey, which I shall cook unstuffed because I don't want to have to cook it forever.

Stuffing, potatoes, gravy (I found all three gravy pitchers, thank heaven), spinach salad with bacon and honey mustard dressing, fruit salad, rolls, cranberry sauce (made that two days ago), pecan pie, pumpkin pie, apple pie, ice cream and whipped cream.

Before that, there's the pre-dinner spread for football: cheese ball, various cheeses, sliced meats, crackers of all kinds, fritos and onion dip, plus crudites, grapes, berries, apple-bacon jam I made yesterday, several different jellies I made this past fall (raspberry, grapefruit, orange, dreamcicle), ranch dip, whatever I come across in the fridge that looks good to serve.

If you walk away from my house hungry, it ain't my fault.

When I redid the kitchen we ordered the appliances months before the cabinets came in, because it was about a year out of covid and supply was still a little shaky. There was a choice of a 2 rack dishwasher, with 56 people on a waiting list, or the 3 rack with only a few people on the list, so 3 rack it was. I wasn't sure the 3 rack was going to work, I figured to fit in 3 racks it might cramp the other 2. Well the interior was taller, which became glaring once I went to install it had almost no room under it to work. In the end it worked like a charm, the middle rack is adjustable for height, so no cramping the other racks, and Mrs b packs the shit out of that thing, and everything comes out spotless.

321 I absolutely love cooking for people, and hosting dinners and parties. I think some of that is a lost art. My mom's generation did house parties all the damned time, which was mostly an excuse to get blotto and check out the other ladies in the neighborhood. My parties usually include pistol shooting off the back porch and way too much food. I considered putting in a bunk room so folks could drink like they wanted to, but so far we settle for a few spots in the camper if things get spicy.

I did get the 16 digit one correct.

Young Dick Feynman, working at Los Alamos, showed how using such for password equivalents is not too smart. He cracked a bunch of safe combinations one time by reasoning, hey what would ol' Niels Bohr there think is some string of digits so arcane and obscure that he would think only he would be clever enough to think of?

It took him only a few tries to huess the combinations.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at November 26, 2025 12:27 AM (w6EFb)

Current passwords, especially when you have to use a symbol in them, makes them easier to brute force than not. They are also hard to remember for the user, so it forces them to write them down someplace accessible, which defeats the entire purpose of passwords.

A much better solution is to remember a phrase or sentence and use that as the password. Much harder to crack, unless someone knows you very well.

Had to have a dead tree removed this spring. There was a galvanized pipe (fence post? about 2.5inch dia.) stuck in the ground right next to the trunk, and tree had grown into it somewhat. No way to just soak the ground & yank the pipe out.

Sawzall to the rescue! Cut smooth as silk, right through that pipe in about 5 seconds, as low as I could get it.

Tagged the stub with fluorescent pink spray paint & pointed it out to the tree crew, so nobody would get hurt.

371 I recently installed a bunch of keypad door locks. I had to program them for about 30 people. 4 digit code chosen by the employee. I used a chart to keep track of who has what.
I graphed it out. LOTS of requests for 6969 and 0420. Half start and end with 0. The top keys are going to wear out well before the rest and nobody used 7.

The Beastmaster Cafe

R to L: A Siberian tiger, a scratching post, lunch

This better not be AI.

This astronomy is making me horny.

Grooming your doe, if you know what I mean.

Lion dad summons Chip.

A mama bear leads her troop of cubs through the snow.

Polar bear cub crawls all over mama.

Kitty's got claws.

Olivia Nuzzi just took a flea and tick bath.

Prairie dog yahoos to the chickens. Like Beastmaster's did. (Beastmaster actually had ferrets, I think, whom he called "my friends," but I don't have a ferret video so just play along and pretend he had a prairie dog. Sometimes a post's theme is like Olivia Nuzzi's metaphors -- it has to be forced.)

A bird, maybe an owl, camouflages itself as a log. I'm just glad it didn't reveal itself to be a spider.

Here's the Beastmaster training his dog to dance. (The Beastmaster had a dog, he just wasn't in the movie.)

Lion brothers fight over the bed.

Beastmaster definitely had a leopard. (Or a panther, though commenters have told me these are the same animal.) That one's right on the poster.

beastmastermoviephoto.jpg

Here's the trailer. They make a direct appeal to the Dungeons and Dragons set. I don't really remember the trailer. I do remember that it was on HBO after school, every single day, playing multiple times between 3 and 8. HBO used to reserve R-rated movies for night time and that meant the day was nonstop Beastmaster, Rocky III, Labyrinth, and then topped off by another airing of Beastmaster. Sometimes Beastmaster would come on right after If You Could See What I Hear, about some blind guy, and then you'd have Marc Singer double feature. Here's part one of that great movie.

This is claimed to be the best parts of Beastmaster. The best parts of Beastmaster are actually just "all of Beastmaster," thank you very much.

This was Don Coscarelli's follow-up to Phantasm. Odd move but I guess he just needed to tell the story of Dar.

Beastmaster only has three gears: Awesome, So Awesome You Wouldn't Even Believe It, and the highest gear, "Beastmaster."

I agree.

For a bit of irony, back when I was a teenager, I had a friend who was a bit of nature girl. She had a pet bluejay and one day, while she was walking, it was sitting on her shoulder.

Suddenly it took off and flew right at her house, nailing something that looked like a vine or twig hanging from the siding.

Turns out it was a praying mantis that failed camoflage school.

By the time you got to the last one it was obvious that they were hardly even trying.

Trump Turns Turkey Pardoning Ceremony Into Roast of Joe Biden's Autopen Pardons

These pardons weren't signed by autopen. They'll hold up in court.


President Trump turned Tuesday's White House turkey pardon into a full-blown political roast, using the annual tradition to take a swipe at Joe Biden's "autopen" pardons and even joking that he briefly considered naming this year's birds "Chuck and Nancy."

...

Turning to Gobble and Waddle--described by Trump as "two of the fattest, happiest turkeys we've ever had here"--the president joked that when he first saw their photos, he almost went with "Chuck and Nancy." "But then I realized I wouldn't be pardoning them," he added. "I would never pardon those two people."

Gobble and Waddle join a long list of clemency actions in Trump's second term, a tally that already exceeds 1,700 pardons along with numerous commutations. Trump joked that several aides were prematurely preparing to send the birds through El Salvador's anti-gang confinement system--a reference to the administration's deportation push. "Even these turkeys don't want to go there," he said.

Trump also veered into Chicago crime. The president has repeatedly accused Pritzker and the city's mayor of refusing to work with him on a federal crime-reduction effort. "The mayor is incompetent and the governor is a big fat slob," Trump said, stressing that the prepared joke went too easy on Pritzker. "Some speechwriter wrote something about his weight. I don't talk about people being fat. I refuse to say he's a fat slob. I'd like to lose a few pounds too, by the way--and I'm not going to lose it on Thanksgiving."

33 Turning to Gobble and Waddle--described by Trump as "two of the fattest, happiest turkeys we've ever had here"--the president joked that when he first saw their photos, he almost went with "Chuck and Nancy." "But then I realized I wouldn't be pardoning them," he added. "I would never pardon those two people."

A DOJ employee was arrested and booked on terrorism and evidence tampering charges for doxxing a federal agent during a raid in Brownsville, Texas.

Karen Olvera De Leon, an employee with the US Attorney’s Office in Brownsville, appeared on a live stream of a federal raid on June 9.

A male joined the livestream and issued a death threat against one of the federal agents conducting a raid.

Another viewer of the livestream, later identified as Karen Olvera De Leon, doxxed the federal agent and provided his identity to the man issuing the death threat.

There are a few people who Trump pardoned that the Left is screaming over. They claim that they are "supporters" and being pardoned because of that.

In reality, they were prosecuted because the were Trump supporters, and it is good and proper for Trump to undo the unfair and biased prosecutions, especially since the courts, juries, judges, and even defense conspired against them.

123 My version on those little potatoes: bake them until almost done, then smush a crater in the middle with the back of a spoon, add a pat of butter with some grated cheese, crumbled bacon (and some sour cream for the people that like it). Bake for five more minutes and serve.

125 For gold potatoes, I do them one of two ways.

You can do them as a normal baked potato. Take a sheet of aluminum foil and grease it (oil works, butter is better). Wrap the potato in the greased foil and bake it for a while. Around an hour at 350 should do it, but keep an eye on it Unwrap 'em, cut 'em in half, go to town with whatever you like on a baked potato.

The other way is sort of roasted, which is my preference. Cut them in half long-ways and array them on a baking sheet. Put salt and pepper on them in quantities that match your preference. Put a generous - if it looks like too much, it's probably enough - amount of butter on each potato half. Use Irish butter if you have it. Bake for about an hour or so at 350. You can convert it to broil for a minute or two at the end to brown them if desired.

I recently read a story of Sherman's troops, where one unit was resting on the front lawn of a plantation house during a march, while the women of the plantation were watching them carefully from the porch, and one of the men noticed the ground where he was laying had been disturbed. With a whoop to his buddies that he had found treasure buried to keep it from the Union soldiers, they started digging and unearthed a reeking box that turned out to have the decayed body of a spaniel in it.

One of the ladies on the porch commented archly, "Poor Curly isn't destined to find peace in this world or the next, that's the third time he's been dug up today."

Amazing: The New York Times Profiles an Illegal Alien Who Stole an American Man's Identity and Caused Him 20 Years of Legal Nightmares.
The Times Say They're Both Victims.

Via David Strom, who quotes the New York Times asserting that both the citizen whose identity was stolen, and the identity thief himself, are both victims of the same broken system and equally deserving of our sympathies.

nytbothpaidtheprice.jpg


Dan Kluver saw the police lights flashing in his rearview mirror late last year and eased his car onto the shoulder, thinking there had been some kind of mistake. He had spent four decades in rural Minnesota without ever getting into trouble. He prided himself on a life built around dependability and routine, working at the same factory where his father once did and spending his weekends coaching baseball and teaching Sunday school. He had never fired a gun, or smoked a cigarette, or missed a payment, or been arrested.

"License and registration, please," the officer said. Kluver, 42, handed them over and waited while the officer went back to his patrol car. He listened to the church bells that rang every hour and watched sunlight reflect off the grain silos in downtown Olivia, where he knew most of the 2,400 residents, including the officer who was walking back to his car.

"Is everything all right?" Kluver asked.

"It's strange, but it looks like your license has been suspended," the officer said. "You've got another driver's license with some issues down in Missouri."

"What?" Kluver said. "I've barely ever been to Missouri. How's that possible?"

The officer had no answers, but Kluver feared he might know what was happening. Over the years, there had been signs that something wasn't right -- stray letters about wages earned in unfamiliar towns and collection notices for debt that wasn't his. Kluver had tried to untangle the mess several times by hiring tax specialists and driving to government offices across the state only to run into the same bureaucratic dead ends. But now the problem was bigger than unpaid taxes. Someone was impersonating him, moving through the world as Dan Kluver, building a life in his name with a government-issued ID.

The identity thief used his Social Security to illegally work. The thief kept the money paid for his illegal labor -- but this citizen got "credited" with the thief's salary, which pushed his tax liabilities up, pushing him, in fact, into a higher tax bracket.

He was expected to pay the taxes on the thief's earnings while the thief kept the earnings himself.

As you can see, they were both victims here.

...

Some years the other Dan Kluver had earned more than his own salary at a local sugar beet factory, which pushed the total income under his Social Security number into a higher tax bracket as the debt started to mount. Twice, he'd contacted law enforcement and filed an identity theft report with the federal government, where it landed in a pile along with tens of thousands of similar reports filed each year. He waited for relief while the I.R.S. docked his annual tax returns and garnished a few of his paychecks, costing him thousands. Finally, a few months before their wedding in 2012, Kristy decided to pay off the balance, emptying her savings and sending in a check for $6,000. Their relief lasted until the next tax season, when a new bill arrived -- this one for $22,000.

They spent the next decade living with the consequences -- annual tax audits, budgets that never added up, whispered arguments after the kids went to bed. Kluver kept calling government numbers and waiting on hold until he eventually resigned himself to a payment plan. He agreed to send the I.R.S. $150 each month, which he'd done more than 35 times. "I can't keep obsessing over this and getting nowhere," he told Kristy. "I need to think about something else."

Now the Times turns to the thief. I mean, The Other, More Deserving Victim.

He had lived under enough names and numbers in the United States that they started to blur together. Vincent Trujillo. Reynaldo Guerra. And then, for more than a decade, Daniel Kluver -- the name he used until he could barely remember what it felt like to exist as himself: Romeo Pérez-Bravo, 42, a Guatemalan immigrant who had spent most of his adult life working under borrowed identities.

"Borrowed." They won't even say "stolen."

...

Perez-Bravo had come to the United States for the first time at 16 to help earn money for his family, traveling alone to join his father in Marshall, Minn. He hiked out of the Guatemalan highlands, rode atop a freight train for three weeks across Mexico, nearly drowned in the Rio Grande and took a Greyhound to Middle America, where life somehow felt harder. He slept on a couch in his father's apartment and enrolled in high school despite speaking almost no English. Then he began to look for a job, but no one would hire an underage worker without papers.

No one would hire an illegal immigrant barred by the law from working, you mean.

He's definitely the victim. He was forced to steal Dan Kluvin's identity and make his life a living hell.

Read the whole thing from David Strom. The New York Times continues doubling down on the narrative that the first victim of Perez-Bravo's serial identity theft was... Perez-Bravo himself.



The narrative, man. Stick to the narrative. The law-abiding citizen whose life is being turned upside-down may be a victim, but Perez-Bravo has a story to tell, too.


This is exactly the kind of logic that lets criminals walk the streets after tens of arrests. They are people too, so if you look at it the right way, everybody is a victim.

And Kluver is white, so really, he is the privileged one and should be happy to help out his brown brother, who suffers from oppression that is almost as bad as Michelle Obama's.

And he also "paid the price."


He was charged with aggravated identity theft and false representation of a Social Security number and was held in detention for six weeks before an initial bond hearing in April. The State of Missouri argued that he was a flight risk who needed to remain in custody until the trial. "What's to stop him from going out and getting another identity and just living underneath that," the prosecutor told the judge. "We've seen that before."

But Perez-Bravo had most of his family and several members of his church at the hearing, and his lawyer said that he was "connected to the city in deep ways."

The Times believes that it was outrageous for the prosecutor to assert that this serial identity thief might just steal another identity and flee the court's jurisdiction under a new name if he were set free.

Absolutely outrageous! He has "deep" "connections" to the city he's currently living illegally in!

Amber Duke was herself a victim of a identity thief.

Almost as much a victim of identity thief as the identity thief herself.

She doesn't think her identity thief was the Real Victim Here.


About seven years ago, my identity was stolen in a data breach. I found out fairly quickly because one of the thieves made a mistake: the receipts for their fraudulent purchases were sent to my email address. It still took almost two weeks to shut down the accounts opened in my name and clear them from my credit reports. I was constantly stressed and paranoid and couldn't focus on anything else in my life until my credit was cleared and locked down.

I was lucky that I caught the identity theft early. Some people spend years digging themselves out after someone else pretends to be them.

...

Pérez-Bravo had stolen multiple identities throughout his time in the U.S. While living here, he got several DUIs. He was deported in 2005, 2008 and 2009 but came back each time and stole another American's info.


...

The story gets even more unbelievable from there. Pérez-Bravo was involved in a fatal accident that killed a 68-year-old grandfather and injured his 9-year-old granddaughter. He was cleared of wrongdoing but the family filed a wrongful death suit against Kluver, whose name was on the fake license Pérez-Bravo provided at the scene.

The police eventually found Pérez-Bravo and he has been charged for his crimes. Nonetheless, the NYT report paints him as just as much a sympathetic victim as Kluver, describing him as a family man and hard worker who essentially had no choice but to steal an identity so he could make money for his family.

I'm so sick of it.

If liberals want to impose liberal policies on the country, they have to at least make sure the worst excesses of those policies are checked.

They cannot allow maniacs to prowl the subway stations throwing grandmothers in front of trains, for example.

And they cannot lionize criminal identity thief illegals.

They have to show that they can demonstrate compassion without turning all of society into violent chaos.

But they can't -- and the new breed doesn't even try.

Their attitude is You deserve it, Colonialist Oppressors.

So all of the illegals will have to go. If there's no protection for the citizens, there is certainly no protection for the fucking illegals.

Kick them out. Kick them all out.

29 Everyone needs some credit monitoring service. It’s pretty cheap $10/mo usually. Get it and check it often. Any new debt will show up there and you can take action. And on top of that lock your credit at all 3 credit bureaus, transunion, experian and equitable. This way no credit checks can be done on you. Without that it’s tough to open new accounts.

It’s not 100% full proof but goes a long way in stopping this kind of nightmare from happening.

Less crime (so even lower insurance).

One borrows an identity just as one borrows a car, goes on a burglary spree, wrecks the car, and leaves your fingerprints all over the suspect vehicle.

41 Ace is gradually working his way to my position. If the new breed of leftist can't be reasoned with, you need to get rid of their props (criminals both native and alien). That's Ace's current position.

My further position (which he and others will eventually get to), is that if these leftists aren't bound to any kind of shared ethics like Kennedy or Carter arguably were, we have to get rid of the leftists too.

Hell, we should give stays of deportation to illegals who will help us get rid of native born leftists. That would be amusing (and then we could make money broadcasting the results).

76 I had my identity stolen some years back. No one would help me I went to the state police and all they did was give me a case number. Whoever got my identity was local because he kept opening cell phone and internet accounts in my name and actually got a town dump pass using my identity. He even voted in my place once which I find extremely disturbing and insane.


He opened an ebay account with my info and sold tons of fake stuff on it before it finally caught up with him. I found out one night when some random guy called me about a $64,000 antique guitar I was supposedly selling on ebay. He got suspicious and looked my real name up and called our home phone instead of the ebay listing number. We had to lock everything down but he kept opening cell phone accounts in my name for months after that.

This is internally impossible. The premise here is nonsensical. The only point in pursuing a policy is to pursue it to its maximum level. Even if that isn't the *intent,* it absolutely will be the *outcome.* All policies are pursued to their maximum absurdity. This is one of many reasons the originalist policy of, essentially, "have no policy at all wherever possible" is so valuable - it, too, is pursued to its maximum until policy changes.

This is inevitable. The leftists' policies will be pursued to the maximum. No checks. No limits. It can be no other way. Same goes for non-leftist policy, of course, but I prefer non-leftist policies in general.

Since when does "compassion" have anything to do with anything? They barely even mouth the words anymore, and they never had any meaning.

It isn't about being "good" or "moral" or "compassionate" or whatever. It can't be even if that was the initial intent (which I doubt). A person can be charitable or compassionate or whatever else, but an institution cannot be. Institutional compassion is a contradiction in terms and trying to make one - or pretending to be one - can lead only to pathological excess of whatever it is the institution is doing.

Even though I would stop almost ALL immigration, no matter what their Race is... the immediate attack was of course, I was a Racist.
-------

I think its a simpler story than we're full. We lock our personal residence (even if one rents). We do that because we choose who we allow to enter, and when, and under what circumstances. There are people who I would let in were they to drop by at 6 in the evening that aren't gaining entry at 2 in the morning. There are other people who won't be allowed entry at all.

Why would running a country's borders be any different than managing one's front door?

117 Also, freeze your credit accounts. Yes, it's a pain in the ass. Yes, if you want credit in the future, you have to find out which bureau(s) the lender uses and unfreeze it for a temporary period to let them process it.

But freezing your credit is free and a very effective step to thwart identity fraud. It stops not only falsely-issued credit, but stops many other uses of your identity. Utility companies, landlords, etc. often run credit and it blocks that. Banks always will, and it will block accounts being opened in your name. It won't block other uses of your SSN, but it significantly reduces your attack surface.

You can do "credit monitoring" if you want to, but freezing your credit is free and effective.

I was home sick and watched on Court TV the day that 'mental health' professionals appeared before a Judge saying that Geyser was A-Okay to be released from the Mental Hospital back in to society. The Judge gave her conditional release to a group home. The lawyers on TV were dumbfounded and asked during the break if the Judge and these mental health bozos would be comfortable having her in their homes baby sitting their kids. Well we see how this all worked out. Group homes are not confinement and ankle bracelets are easily dismantled.

This has been a thing for years. The Dems have even complained that it is a reasona we can't "afford" to deport them.

Go ahead, try to file two returns and get two refunds, and tell us how that works out for you.

The illegals don't file, they don't get refunds, and in return the IRS and Treasury ignores their use of the SSNs. Everyone who has been exposed to the scam knows how this works, and it is why you can use the same SSN for a dozen illegals.

178 Garnishing someone for wages earned by an illegal using their name and SSN is very common. Often it can be solved by declaring a stolen ID, but sometimes the state or feds don't care because f___ you pay me.

This is why I insist the first step to resolve this is for taxing authorities to refuse to allow employee write-offs to the employer for wages paid if there is a mismatch for SSN DOB and name, or if the employee shows up in multiple states or multiple employers.
There can be a three year period in which if the employer can get the employee to provide proof of identity the employer can amend or refile, otherwise it is flagged as fraudulent.

I already saw it on X, reposted by an anti-trans activist. Here are the big SHOCKS! of this story, so get your face ready:

1 - woman (?) who plotted as a teen to stab her friend to death is let out early

2 - goes to a halfway house where she's befriended by a weird adult

3 - the weird adult appears to be transgender

4 - stabber cuts off her ankle bracelet and is now at large

Not shocked? No?

182 It's not about what "evil" means, it's about who they want to call "evil".

I don't care. They aren't allowed to use that word. If they can't figure out the meaning behind the word, then they can't use it as a label. Its just a sound, a noise, like a belch or a fart, with the same intellectual meaning and significance.

Well, you're not going to get them to shut up.

Also, Michel Foucault already covers that ground for them: All words are noise, they are all equally meaningless and mainly about redistributing power.

184 Also, freeze your credit accounts. Yes, it's a pain in the ass. Yes, if you want credit in the future, you have to find out which bureau(s) the lender uses and unfreeze it for a temporary period to let them process it.

But freezing your credit is free and a very effective step to thwart identity fraud. It stops not only falsely-issued credit, but stops many other uses of your identity. Utility companies, landlords, etc. often run credit and it blocks that. Banks always will, and it will block accounts being opened in your name. It won't block other uses of your SSN, but it significantly reduces your attack surface.

You can do "credit monitoring" if you want to, but freezing your credit is free and effective.

We did that when my identity got stolen. We also put passwords on our bank accounts and turned off check cashing unless we called them and said we writing a check. It was painful but it protected us.

Marxism is also just an untidy lump of borrowed concepts from better philosophies. You can easily show how it collapses if people just refuse to work but collect on their need. Abilities are finite, needs are not.

188 Really, "You're blathering" should be the answer to a lot of assertions by progs.

What do you mean when you say "fascist"?
What do you mean when you say "racist"?
What do you mean when you say "unfair"?

Most people have a Y Level† of 1, maybe 2. When they say "fascist" or "unfair" the Y Level is zero.

Why are you protesting today?

† They make a statement, you ask "Why?" and they answer, then ask "Why?" again. When they get to the point they can't answer, there is your Y Level.

Although you can go overboard investing in Nietzsche, I think that's right in the ballpark of his "Master Morality". "Master Morality" says "I'm good. You're bad."

You are good when you serve me and my interests and you are bad when you counter them or compete with me for them.

That's true. But that is realized in Foucault's model.

But what we get from this is "my desires are just as valid as your desires".

Because Foucault wanted to fuck teenage boys.

True, but Nietzsche is not saying that's "moral", he's saying that's a base morality. He prefers it to "Slave Morality" which says "I am Evil". People who sublimate Nietzsche would say that FN really believes that a "Master Morality" refined through an appreciation of "aesthetics" (art) is really the better path forward.

"Master Morality" is not a suggestion, but a description of existing moral-related behavior.

210 Their attitude is You deserve it

Bingo! Stripped of all the pseudo-intellectual twaddle they’ve tried to foist on everybody for decades - this is absolutely the core of it. Everything.

They have a death wish, coupled with an inability to change their world view. And, they are cowards.

So they become more extreme, willing to sacrifice you and your children to try and maintain a fairy tale in their head. “Your Death Before Their Dishonor.”

The more charitable types basically feel guilty for not being born poor, and spend much of their time annoying the poor by trying to “help” them. And so it goes.

And yet, the left uses his concepts over and over.

They're not for pedophilia! Heavens no--and they would never be for that!! However, they can take from a writer who's end goal was the mainstreaming of homosexuality so that he could bang teenage boys, eventually.

Why is there no need to distance themselves from that on the left?

214 "If liberals want to impose liberal policies on the country, they have to at least make sure the worst excesses of those policies are checked."

The Left's ideologues--theologians, really--who are setting the dialectical agenda want to tear the whole thing down. The grifters and the people just trying to get by will mouth the Party line and pile on to the designated objects of the day's Hate. Both are afraid that if they don't they'll lose what they have.

Of the two victims, the identity thief is actually more victimy and therefore better. Anyway, he's doing more to burn down a systematically oppressive system which is an example of criminals actually helping to tear down a system which cannot meet the insane dialectical "ideals" and so must not continue.


If I'm reading the dates right, the identity thief came to the US under Billy Jeff, and continued his career under every president since.

Except Trump after he finally realized how much he needed to clean house. Imagine that.
